God is Still Warning of Earthquakes (1)  (audio) David Eells, 8/16/26  Saints, I want to share with you prophetic warnings we've been receiving from the Lord about the coming earthquakes. The following is what I believe.  Important: Some high magnitude earthquakes have been prayed down to a lower magnitude and it could be done so at any time. According to prophecies a large Japan quake will precede the large US earthquakes. Japan just had a 7.1 but this may not be the sign. They could have a larger magnitude earthquake, God forbid, – then 10 days of communication darkness for people in the U.S. to move to safety. The West Coast could experience a 9-something magnitude earthquake.  Then, New Madrid shortly after could have a 9-something magnitude quake. There will be smaller quakes in the Eastern US. For many years now, we have spoken about the earthquakes that precede the Man-child ministry and anointing. We encourage everyone to be spiritually prepared in faith and sanctification, and to be seeking the Lord for direction if He would have you move and where to go, provisions, etc. I want to go over some of these revelations with you today. We know we are getting close to these things coming to pass. Julie asked the Lord what the people needed to hear and pray about, and she heard “seven,” so she searched that under the dreams/visions page and the only one with seven in the title was Eve's revelation below.   Seven Earthquakes / New Madrid / Man-child Eve Brast - 04/23/2012 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was high above Earth, sitting on the clouds and to the right of Tom Welling, the actor who plays Superman in the Smallville TV series. (This was odd to me because I don't ever dream of superheroes, but I understood the parable of Superman being Jesus in the Man-child with the latter rain anointing and supernatural abilities.) He was pointing and showing me places where earthquakes were to take place around the globe and telling me about them. But the strange thing is, the Earth was wrapped in a golden yellow tarp that was made of the same material as the yellow raincoat that my son Josiah wears. (It used to belong to my dad and is way too big for him, but he loves to wear it when it rains.)(This is a sign that we will need more than people think to protect from the storms coming? Primarily pray to God in faith.) On top of the raincoat tarp was the red outline of all the continents of the Earth, and each place where there was going to be an earthquake had an outline of a star in red. I only remember two places: one was around the Great Lakes (New Madrid) area in the U.S.  (The Great Lakes / New Madrid quake could be the one that destroys the economy and brings the anointing of the Man-child reformers.) (I remembered this one well because when I saw it in the dream, I thought about the American Earthquake Brings Revival dream of 3/14/12. (I share this dream below) The other was in South America. There were seven stars (earthquakes) altogether that He pointed out to me. This reminds me of the seven booms that I heard after waking up from the Forgiving the Repentant dream of 4/02/12. (I'll share the seven booms portion of that dream below.) I could not remember exactly how many stars were in the dream, but I was pretty sure there were seven, so I asked the Father to give me a verse with “7” in it and my finger was on: (Psa.119:79) Let those who fear You turn to me, those who know Your testimonies. I asked the Father for a confirmation verse, and my finger was on: (Jer.22:7) I will prepare destroyers against you, Everyone with his weapons: They shall cut down your choice cedars and cast them into the fire. Were the seven earthquakes around the globe on 4/11/12 a sign of something larger to come?   American Earthquake Brings Revival Eve Brast - 03/14/2009 (Deborah Horton's notes in green) | (David's notes in red) I dreamed that I was a teacher over a group of elementary school students and also a commander over a platoon of 30 soldiers at the same time. (Eve is a type of the Bride of the last Adam, Jesus, since Eve was the name of the first Adam's bride since history repeats. The Bride, Jerusalem, here has rule over the body of 30 soldiers.) As a teacher with my students, I resided in the heavenlies, which was indicated by the floor being transparent and having clouds around it. I could see the U.S. underneath my classroom. God's hand appeared to my right and caught my attention. (Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin?) (This saying was written by God's hand and finger and it meant the Babylonish kingdom in the US will be judged and divided and will come to an end, as the deep state is now. Dan 5:25-28 And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end; 27 TEKEL; thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. 28 PERES; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. (A type of Cyrus-Trump's kingdom conquering Babylon. Daniel, at that time, was a type of the Man-child who interpreted this judgment.) God's hand pointed down at the U.S./Canadian border. The hand and I descended toward the Great Lakes area. God's finger started pointing down to the ground near Michigan and then followed the U.S./Canadian border over to around Minnesota. Then He brought me in for a closer look and showed me a fissure that had begun in the earth. As He traced the crack with His finger, there was a huge earthquake. I heard the screams of many people falling into the rift that was opened in the earth. (A warning to question God if you are to leave the area?) (There have also been a lot of booms and small quakes in Michigan and Wisconsin around the Great Lakes area. (These can identify for you where the fault lines are for future use.) I was awakened to seven booms in real life. It definitely was not thunder. There was no rain, and the sky was not cloudy when I got up to type up this dream. The first boom rattled my window, woke me up, and made my heart jump. The first three booms seemed to be above-ground somehow, but the last four rumblings were from below the ground because I heard them through my pillow. [The booms in Forgiving the Repentant dream may have been earthquake activity. In another dream, the Statue of Liberty Falls to Its Knees at the New Madrid Seismic Zone and the “ground shook mightily.”]) Back to Eve's dream: I was then on the ground near the beginning of the fault line in Michigan with my students, but they were now soldiers. (A sign the students will have grown up when this quake happens and soldiers are needed after a large quake.) We marched down into the canyon that had been created by the fault line, and when we reached the end of the canyon, I saw the corner of a golden step pyramid, like those found in the Americas, sticking out of the dirt. God's hand came down and uncovered four golden structures from under the dirt. God's voice said, “This is Egypt”. (This reminds me of the parable of the servant who buried his talent in the earth, instead of using it to further God's Kingdom. America has been doing the same thing with all the gifts that she has been given.) (This shows that the root cause of the quake is that America is an Egypt and God's people are called forth out of her spiritually, even as He divides her with earthquakes and wars.) One structure was the four-cornered step pyramid with no capstone. (The Great Pyramid with the capstone missing is not Egyptian; it had no Egyptian hieroglyphics or art, as the others. The historian Josephus said that Enoch and his sons built it before the flood. A capstone on a pyramid is a “chief cornerstone”, Who is Jesus, and is missing and in Heaven. The Egyptian pyramids are inferior copies of it. The original Chaldean word for “pyramid” is “urimidden”, meaning “revelation measurements”. The Great Pyramid is mentioned in the Bible as an altar to the Lord, so it is prophetically Christian, not Egyptian. (Isa.19:19) In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah. [The Great Pyramid fulfills this because it is on the “border” of upper and lower Egypt and in the midst of the country of Egypt.] (20) And it shall be for a sign [revelation measurements] and for a witness unto Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of oppressors, and he will send them a saviour, and a defender, and he [Jesus] will deliver them.) Within the Great Pyramid was a standard of measurement called the pyramid inch. With this, you could measure an outline of the history of man from beginning to end. A shaft went from the upper side of the pyramid to a pit, representing hell, beneath it. It is measured in length to represent the history of man in years. That history line was intersected by a passage that went to a room in the heart of the pyramid that was the exact size as the Holy of Holies, where the Ark of God, Jesus, would have resided. This represented the coming of Jesus to intersect that history line at the exact point in time when He came to save man's fall to the pit of Hell. So, God gave us this amazing witness in His Word. Also, the Great Pyramid originally had 144,000 polished limestones covering it before they were plundered. This represents the Man-child company mentioned twice in Rev.14:1-4. Back to Eve: One structure was a golden graven image of a queen of Egypt. (This reminds one of the Babylonish harlot ruling over God's people) One structure seemed to be a rectangular palace with large, tall pillars surrounding it. I can't recall what the fourth structure was, even though I asked the Father to reveal it to me. God's finger made the sign of the cross over the four-cornered step pyramid, and its corners slid open in the directions that the finger moved. Inside the pyramid was a solid gold throne which had no back to it. God pointed with emphasis to that throne. (Like the Great Pyramid, the heart of the Church is God's Holy of Holies, where His Ark and throne are. The mercy seat on the Ark of the Covenant was “a solid gold throne which had no back”. The one on that throne should be God Himself, not the queen or harlot of Egypt. Egypt usurped the throne of the Great Pyramid as its own. So she did with Israel, God's real building. In Isaiah 14:4,12,13, the king of Babylon, inhabited by Lucifer, said, “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God”, which God said is Abraham's seed. So, America, as a modern-day Egypt/Babylon, has and will usurp authority over the Church, which will be resurrected from its death and burial in the dirt of America. This speaks of a great revival because of this earthquake judgment on America. Then I was taken back up over the U.S. into the heavenlies where I was at the beginning. As I returned to my place, I asked God, “What about my mother?” (Being concerned for my earthly mother.) And I heard my earthly father's voice from behind me say, “It's too late for her”, and then I woke up. (In this case, the Bride's mother is America, just what Jeremiah 50:8 says of Babylon: “It's too late for her.” (Jer.50:10) And Chaldea [Babylon/America] shall be a prey: all that prey upon her shall be satisfied, saith Jehovah. (11) Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder my heritage [They did and will persecute and kill God's people], because ye are wanton as a heifer that treadeth out [the grain] [persecution to bring forth the fruit in God's people], and neigh as strong horses; (12) your mother (there she is) shall be utterly put to shame; she that bare you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. An earthquake tearing in the flesh of America will reveal the Great Pyramid symbol of the Church being born out of the travail of persecution.) When I asked for a verse for this dream and flipped my Bible open, my finger came down on verses 2-4 of Obadiah, but the Bible I have has an introduction to each book, so my finger came down on the sentence within the introduction, “God will bring her down”, verses 2-4. (Oba.2) Behold, I have made thee small among the nations: thou art greatly despised. (A sign of God bringing down from her thone the U.S. and destroying its economy through which it rules.) (3) The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? (4) Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord. Deb Horton: I asked for a word and my finger came down on: (Psa.21:10) Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the children of men. Eve: Also, several months later, when I was reading Isaiah 19, the Lord told me that this chapter was in reference to this dream. (This chapter is about God's judgment on Egypt and the Great Pyramid altar. Part of that judgment is civil war, just as the judgment on Babylon was division -- Daniel 5:25-28. (Isa.19:2) And I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians (even now the U.S. is polarized by the left and right): and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, [and] kingdom against kingdom. (3) And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. (4) And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord (Satan); and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts. We have many dreams that speak of Civil War in America as a tribulation judgment. In the Word, when the Beast came against God's people, God always divided them to save His people.) Here's a portion of Eve's dream about the seven booms: ….Then I was awakened (at 4:00 am) by a loud, crashing boom outside our mobile home that shook the window, followed by two more lesser, crashing booms, followed by four more (seven booms). After the booms stopped, I realized that a song was being sung in my mind. The lyrics were, “I can walk on water. I can fly. I will keep on fighting till I die.” (representing dying to self) (Since the Bride was hearing the Man-child's voice in her mind, could this be the Man-child ministry, who will also do these wonderful things, coming after the time of the booming sounds, representing earthquakes?) This is a song that was playing on a HALO Lego video that my son Elijah and his friend (whose name is Rebel, believe it or not) were listening to last week on the computer. HALO is a Navy SEAL acronym for High Altitude Low Opening. It describes a certain airborne jump they perform. (It is the safest method for parachuting into enemy territory while under fire. It is to free-fall as close to Earth as possible before opening the chute. This maximizes the chance of evading the gunfire. The Man-child will be coming to Earth very fast and will be under enemy fire from many enemies, including the DS and factious leaders, just as in Javier's dream where he saw three snipers shooting at David from the darkness of a tank, but they could not hit him.) I'm not sure how it fits with the dream, other than the lyrics seem to describe Jesus in the Man-Child. But the song seems to be a rebellious mantra against the establishment (of the apostate hierarchy). I asked the Father for a verse for the song, and my finger was on: (Lam.5:15) The joy of our heart has ceased; our dance has turned into mourning. (There will be repentance by the 70 saints who were forgiven in the Forgiving the Repentant dream.) I then asked the Father for two verses for the booms I heard that woke me up and got: (Eze.22:31) Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah. (Sowing unforgiveness, criticism and slander always destroys the one who does it.) (Mat.7:2) For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. And (Eze.33:26) Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination (The sword of the Word is necessary to separate the sinner from sin and leaven.), and ye defile every one his neighbor's wife (by selfish lusts of the flesh): and shall ye possess the (Promised) land? No!   Midwest Earthquake of Epic Proportions Rick Sergent - 07/14/2008 (David's notes in red) The Lord first spoke to me about a major Midwest earthquake in December of 2003. Then on 7/14/08, He gave some details about this up-and-coming quake. It will happen soon, I believe. It will register on the Richter Scale as a 9-something. I believe it will be on the New Madrid fault line, maybe around St. Louis, MO? I heard these words in my spirit: “It will be of epic proportions”. This earthquake will permanently change the mindset of the people of this nation. It will alter the terrain on a large scope. It will never be the same. People from different nations will come to the aid of the U.S. (some may for ill intentions). Personal Notes: When I heard a “9”, I wondered if there was ever a verified 9 quake in the world. I may be wrong, but I only found three earthquakes. One was a1960 9.5 quake in Chile. The other one was on December 26, 2004, the tsunami that killed about 230,000 people. The U.S. Geological Survey says it was a 9.1. Others outside of this country said it was a 9.3. The 1964 quake in Alaska was around a 9, maybe(?) I do not want to sound like a doomsayer, but this quake may cause more deaths than any quake in the history of the world. I did research afterwards, and the tsunami quake of 2004 was the second in terms of deaths. The first one happened in about 1560 in China. That one claimed over 800,000 deaths, they say. In 2003, I had a friend who saw sea creatures in the spirit in Terre Haute, Indiana. She did not know why. I do not know if this is the quake that has been mentioned in relation to Lake Michigan or not, but it would not surprise me if it was. I believe it will be felt in almost all the states. The midsection of the U.S. will be the worst. (Also, the West Coast quakes around this time are prophesied to be terrible.) The big harvest or revival will come alongside great sorrows. Great Earthquake Impedes Travel, Drought Rick Sergent - 04/19/2012 (David's notes in red) On 4/19/12, I was not thinking about anything particular when I saw a vision of this woman on a horse. Her name is Mary. I know her. She is a mature Christian. Then I saw the word EARTHQUAKE in red letters. I have never seen those letters in red. I don't recall it; they have always been in black or an occasional other color. This word was right above her. I then saw these words: “Great Destruction Will Impede Traveling”. That made sense to me, why I saw Mary on a horse. (Also, Mary could be the woman Church who brings forth the Man-child, as it was with Jesus. Sandy and Audrey said she could also be the Church trusting in the strength of beastly flesh.) Then I saw the number 85. I did not know what this number meant. (Then, Deborah Horton sent us a dream that I David was restoring I-85 overpass or Passover. She didn't know about this dream.) After asking the Lord to explain to me about this 85, I received this revelation from Deborah Horton within two days and 85 is emphasized again. Here is a portion of it: There was a highway work crew repairing the overpass where I-85 goes over Highway 29. (The spiritual road crew represents those reformers who restore the paths to dwell in. (Isa.58:12) And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places; thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.) (Deborah: “Overpass” is a word play on “Passover”; if we want the Lord to pass over our sins, we must forgive everyone, but I was giving place to doubt and bitterness about a particular person when I had this dream. In real life, the place where I-85 passes over Highway 29 was chewed-up by heavy trucks going to and from the smelly, multi-state landfill. The landfill there is as large as a small mountain. Part of it was finally patched. So, we could say that the I-85 overpass/Passover has been kept in disrepair by trucks creating a mountain of garbage representing the magnitude of stinking thinking and ways of those who give in to factions and their false Jesus and apostate leadership. That would explain why, below, David was repairing the road. (Isa.58:12) ... The restorer of paths to dwell in.) (Deb later told me 85 is meaning 8 = New Beginning and 5 = grace. Highway 29 mostly parallels I-85, zigzagging back and forth across the path of I-85) From Rick's emails: In Deb Horton's dream, David was over a highway work crew, repairing the I-85. (Passover of Highway 29, which represents the earthquake, meaning God's people must be prepared through faith and God's works to escape these quakes.) In the natural, Highway 29 goes to the heart of Washington, DC, which speaks of the future quake. USGS says the epicenter of the 8/23/11, 5.8 quake was five miles S-SW of Mineral, VA, which is 84 miles to DC.. Wow, close enough! Number 29 may mean a second quake or judgment. (2 = second [and division] and 9 = judgment.) A portion of 29 between Greensboro, NC and Danville, VA will be upgraded to an interstate. They are naming the new interstate I-785. The point is that it is being made into a faster highway, meaning a quick time for the quake to hit D.C. without delay. Interstates do not have stoplights or stop signs and cross over multiple states. The earthquakes will be felt in multiple states. I did find it interesting that US Highway 29 dead-ends right where I-70 starts on the East Coast and moves west across the heart of the Midwest, all the way to the west to Utah, where it branches off with other interstates to Los Angeles on the West Coast. According to Wikipedia, the U.S. military wanted it that way to be able to travel from southern California to the northeastern United States (NYC). I am convinced of the spiritual revelation of the number 85 as a Passover and that these quakes are coming. But it is interesting that a Passover was being repaired on the I-85 interstate, going over Highway 29 and goes 84 or 85 miles from the epicenter of the last quake in VA to D.C., where the same 5.8 quake judged the Washington Monument and the Statue of Liberty by cracking them. Not a chance that is not a sign. We've had revelations that Government and Liberty will be changed by this. I am convinced that we must be entitled to the Passover of this judgment, which was paid for by Jesus, when it does come. Make sure your heart is right with God and your brethren by abiding in Jesus Christ.) In 2008, I gathered all the dreams on the New Madrid, splitting the country and compared what the timing looked like on each, and I came up with the theory that there were at least two big quakes in the New Madrid -- one at the beginning of the trib and one at the end when the nations come together to divide Israel for the last time. I shared this on the program at that time. In Brenda Schaunaman's dream on 10/12/08, I wrote: “This Midwest quake that divides the U.S. may happen twice, the last being the worst and dividing the country even more”. I do not doubt Rick may be right about a quake coming, but there was no year on the date part, which leaves open a very large quake at the end of the trib. I believe we will see a lesser but very damaging quake leading up to the tribulation when the Lord comes AS the latter rain on the Man-child body. Hos 6:3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. (1Co.4:5) Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God. Back to Rick: A major quake of over 9 on the Richter Scale, as indicated in the prophecy Midwest Earthquake of Epic Proportions, would probably cause an economic crash, especially if coupled with the Western seaboard major quake, back-to-back, knocking out the electric grid for months. (It would cause much death and push over the edge all they have already done to resurrect the economy with the RV. It would also help to bring revival.) Rick: About less than a week before I had received this vision of the number 85, I was on the phone with a lady who was a customer. She brought up the subject of dreams and visions, not knowing I was her confirmer. She said that there were going to be two major quakes -- one on the East Coast (which was prayed down), the other one off the New Madrid (Which, because of that, will come just after the terrible West Coast quakes). She said the Lord showed her they would be one after another. I told her I agreed with her but thought the quakes would be days apart. I told her the last three quakes that the Lord has revealed to me are where quakes are not commonly known to happen. He first showed me the Washington quake months before it happened. Then He showed me the largest quake in Oklahoma's history, months before it happened. He also has shown me one in Nebraska, but that, of course, has not occurred yet. The lady then proceeded to tell me about a drought throughout the United States. She said states will be fighting over water rights with inland waterways and lakes. (As of July 2026, in the U.S., we are seeing approximately 38% drought; some areas are experiencing extreme drought from the East Coast and throughout the country towards the West. This fighting over water rights may also be because of the enormous amount of water needed for all the Data Centers they are building in several places in the States.) I told her in 2011, I saw a vision of a donkey walking with its head down from west to east on a map of the U.S. There was the word “famine” on the donkey, with sagebrush blowing around it. (The donkey is the symbol of the Democratic Party, which is failing.) Then, just last week (April of 2012), I received a call, and the person said one of the headlines in the Indianapolis Star read, Drought in all states except for Alaska and Ohio. I then proceeded to tell her I saw in a vision in 2011 of a radial arm saw making a cut just on the south edge of the Great Lakes. When it carved out the lakes, it went over to the Mississippi River and made a cut all the way down to the Gulf. Then I saw these words: “War over Water”. She seemed to be my confirmer, too. (There has been a water war with major rivers very low.) Note: Additional confirmations and revelation: 1) In March of 2011, I was given this vision from the Lord: I saw the word: Earthquake suspended over a map of the United States. Three golden rods came from the word Earthquake. One pointed to what I thought was just north of Washington, D.C., but it was difficult to determine because it was more like a geography map and was not showing cities. The second pointed to the Midwest and the third pointed to California. This seems to indicate the possibility of a series of quakes indicated in Sandy Shaw's dream, Series of Quakes Hits U.S., in a simpler form in my vision. (She mentioned these same places plus a lesser-known seismic zone in the TN Valley.) Sandy had hers in May of 2011. (These two revelations were true but when the East Coast large quake was prayed down the sequence of the other two large quakes changed. We believe now the West coast will precede the New Madrid.) 2) In Sandy's dream in the notes in red letters, David noted: “Their urgency may be to leave and get into new homes before the quakes because the New Madrid could affect her area in central Arkansas and at least IMPEDE HER TRAVEL”. (Rick: These are basically the same words in my vision I saw: “Great Destruction Will Impede Traveling”. And Mary on the horse/Man-child (4/19/12). David went on to say, “The Man-child will lead many into the wilderness prepared by this great destruction in the beginning of the tribulation”. Also a horse implies automobiles don't have gas or good roads like a wilderness. Update - 5/01/12 I received a major confirmation from my son, Jeremy. Jeremy texted me at 8:48 am on 5/01/12. I did not get hold of him on the phone until 7:16 pm the next day. First of all, Jeremy does not know anything about the vision of Great Earthquake Impedes Travel, Drought. Jeremy lives in Shreveport, in northeastern Louisiana. I had only told my friend Mary (who lives in Indiana) and one friend at work (who lives in Ohio). Jeremy prayed before he went to bed, “Lord, give me dreams or visions”. He awoke that morning wide awake, and he opened the Bible, and it was at Isaiah 24. He said, “Dad, I started crying and could not stop; it was like prophetic weeping”. (I call him Jeremiah sometimes, ‘The Weeping Prophet'.) He said he read the whole chapter and wept all the way through it. He said what was impressed in his spirit was economic collapse and a very big earthquake. (So much for the golden age.) He said, “Dad, I feel it is right around the corner, right at the door!” He later turned on the TV and said words were spoken, like a play on words from the TV. He said on the news they talked about the euro in trouble and the dollar also. He had not turned on the news for months. He said God seems to be confirming to him the judgment on the United States and the world. He said it's like people know it, but they are ignoring it or pretending it will go away. When Jeremy said that, a scripture came to my mind. I knew it was in Ezekiel 7, and I looked it up, and it was verses 25-26: DESTRUCTION COMES; they will seek peace, but there shall be none. DISASTER upon DISASTER, and RUMOR will be upon RUMOR. In my Bible, the subtitle above Isaiah 24 is Impending Judgment on the Earth. This thought then came to me: Eve Brast's dream of seven earthquakes around the world. I then noticed the Bible notes for Isaiah 24:1-6: “Its not clear what form the devastation will take. The imagery suggests drought and possible earthquakes. Such judgments have happened throughout human history and will be climaxed during the time before Christ's return, often referred to as the great tribulation”. I went on to read Isaiah 24:13: “When it shall be thus IN THE MIDST OF THE LAND among the people, it shall be like the SHAKING OF THE OLIVE TREE”. Verse 19: “The EARTH IS VIOLENTLY BROKEN. The EARTH IS SPLIT OPEN. THE EARTH IS SHAKEN EXCEEDINGLY”. Verse 20: “The EARTH SHALL REEL TO AND FRO LIKE A DRUNKARD, and shall totter like a hut. Its transgression shall be heavy upon it”. Let me share this transcript of a prophetic warning the Lord gave to Brandon Biggs, prior to the 7.4 Colombia earthquake that recently occurred on Monday, August 10, 2026.   The Lord Showed Us: It Was Coming A Shaking in Colombia link Brandon Biggs, 6/24/26  …. They felt that all over the place there would be Big earthquakes. What is this happening with the earth? The earth is shaking and rocking and reeling like a drunkard. The Lord said it was coming. The Word said it was coming. And so we're seeing the beginnings of it, the birthing pains. (It is the sign of the birthing of the Man-child ministry too) What are we about to see? Major shaking. Why? Because I told you Colombia will be shaken. Venezuela will be shaken. Cuba will be shaken, as we saw earthquakes; Cuba will be shaken. Why? Because it's a representation of what's happening in the spiritual realm. It is manifesting in the natural, and a great harvest of souls is coming to Venezuela and Cuba and Colombia. Watch, and it's going to spread through Brazil. Watch what happens. God is going to pour out His Spirit in South America. Watch.  Here's another clip Brandon posted on 8/10/26 about a recent volcano in Japan. So there is a volcano going off in Japan, like the Lord was telling us… I saw a lot of people go home because of this eruption. The Lord said, “Watch Japan; Japan's gonna split.” and I saw a major shaking hit Japan, and that's what we were seeing last night (livestream prayer meeting). I'm gonna shake…  He said, “California will have an earthquake that has not been seen in this generation.” A massive earthquake is about to happen in California.  …August 8th, an exploding fireball appeared, captured in Eastern Japan. Here is a Link to this article:  A two-kilometer column of smoke rose after another eruption of the Sakurajima volcano in Japan. The volcano began to become active on July 7. On the same night, surveillance cameras also recorded the glow. On August 8, ash was released from the Minamidake crater to a height of more than two thousand meters. The Japan Meteorological Agency predicts continued activity as magma accumulates deep underground. Near the craters of Nandake and Seva, there is a danger of falling large rocks. According to the researchers, this is the eighteenth eruption on Sakurajima this year. In the footage, the sky is filled with a black cloud of smoke, and local residents are hiding from the effects of the eruption. Brandon: The Lord says, “You will see fearful sights that will bring you to your knees.” And I say, watch the signs in the heavens. It will shake the signs in the heavens. Let me read this transcript of Brandon Biggs' revelation.    “The Lord Showed Me a Major Earthquake Along the San Andreas Fault Line” link  Brandon Biggs, 8/10/26 (David's notes in red) What did the Lord show us about the San Andreas? A week ago, the Lord told us to pray over the San Andreas. I said, “You're about to see a major shaking, and the water will boil. The water will come up out of the ground hotter than it's ever come out of the ground.” And I said, “You're going to see California have the ‘Big One'.”  And today, August 3, 2026, California's top earthquake expert issued a chilling new warning on the ‘Big One'. It could be tomorrow. He shows a clip from a news report:  “Scientists agree we are due for a massive earthquake along the San Andreas Fault. They just don't know when. But as Maribel Gonzalez reports, a new study suggests it may be coming sooner rather than later.  This simulation depicts Southern California's worst-case earthquake, a massive magnitude 7.8 rupture along the San Andreas Fault. [It could last] nearly 2 minutes of shaking. Experts say hundreds could die, along with billions of dollars in damage. This simulated earthquake rivals the powerful quake that struck Venezuela in June, highlighting their devastating impact.”  “It could go another 100 years. It could be tomorrow. It could be, you know, next minute.” said Dr. Lucy Jones, a seismologist at Caltech.  “But a new study warns the risk of a significant earthquake in California could be greater than previously believed, with even more widespread damage.”  “What we've found now is that, you know... stresses are naturally high, and they're actually in some places, the highest that we've seen in all of these 1,000 years,” said Liliane Burkhard, a geophysicist at the University of Bern. (You can see this interview here) Back to Brandon: And this is what I saw back four days ago. I saw a major earthquake, major hot geysers boiling even more. Water coming up out of Yellowstone. And I saw a shaking in California. A major shaking is coming to California. And the Lord said these earthquakes that will take place will be symbolic, that I'm about to have a major, major move of My presence upon San Francisco.  And I saw men without their shirts on, weeping before the Lord. (And the Lord was referring to homosexuality.) And He said, “Watch what I'm about to do.” In San Francisco, I saw perversion, weeping before the Lord. And I saw Portland; I saw Seattle; I saw British Columbia. I saw a major move of God coming to California in the days ahead. And a shaking of the earth, major shakings, earthquakes, and [destruction of] bridges and things like that.   We Are In Magnitude 7 Territory - Get A Tent Alison Pound, 08/10/26 There are going to be more earthquakes. A lot more. Larger magnitude. Like you just saw in Colombia, South America. Magnitude 7 and above are going to become a thing. China is going to have 3 x magnitude 7's - Not 6.9 but 7 and over. I am raising the mag. levels across the earth. Europe will have some mag 7's. Italy in particular. I will be destroying whole cities. Yes, you heard Me, whole cities. Various parts of the earth, across the nations. I have already told you Iceland will have some big quakes. Some of these (mag. 7's) will come before the California “Big One” that will be off the Richter Scale. And some will come after. This is how it will be from now until the end. The Ring of Fire will be lit up on your map. Remember I told you many years ago: look at the map, watch. (I regularly check the earthquake maps because God told me to ‘watch') I Am coming down to shake the whole earth one more time, one more season…… the final season. Everything that can be shaken shall be shaken. There will be landslides, large rock falls in mountainous regions. The landscape will be much altered in some areas. This is to be expected. Tell My people…. Camping gear! Tell them to keep camping equipment handy because some of them are going to need it. They will be living in tents. Many homes will not be safe to live in after earthquakes. Tell them if they do not buy camping equipment, tents especially, now, they will not be able to buy them later. (companies selling tents will be sold out) I told you it is TIME. I Am speaking about all that is happening and all that will happen from now on. It is time for all end time events to come to pass. You have been waiting. You will no longer be waiting to see these terrible events. Haggai 2:6 “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.” Hebrews 12:25 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.” Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.   Prophecy and the Destruction of California  Alison Pound, 08/07/26  Today, I went to the Lord to ask Him if He would allow me to write and publish on the subject of prophecy. What it is and what it is not. Whilst He agreed that many do not understand prophecy or even know what it is, the Lord did not want me writing about it. Instead, I was instructed to re-publish a warning for California. You will find that further down the page. The following is all of His reply:  People are going to be triggered. (He means that's a given) They won't like what I say. They won't receive what I say. What they do is go back to what they were taught. And they were taught by people who themselves don't know what prophecy is. They were taught it must be nice, kind, loving words, encouraging, positive, up-building. I have not the time to teach a people who will not listen to what prophecy is. You will keep on with posting what I will say to them until I stop speaking. They are not going to like anything I say. (He means you won't like what He says this time either) This is judgment hour, most especially for America and the American churches. It will be swift. The sentence will be swiftly carried out. It will be sudden. I will come upon them as I did with Sodom and Gomorrah. The people and place I Am talking about here have been given the warnings. There is time for just a few more. My prophets will speak one more time. And then the sentencing will be carried out. All I have said that I would do to California and surrounding states will be done. Japan will not get any more warnings. None. They will be hit first. Then California will have a short duration- hours only- before they are hit. I want you to know that I will have mercy, great mercy on some Christians on that terrible day. Because they will be out of the state, not in California. So these ones will survive to tell the story. They will, some of them, have sudden urgent business that takes them out of California. Some actual pastors, leaders of churches, will be away preaching, as will some others in the congregation. This (the aftermath) will be a terrible time for them, as they will be aware that they were spared. This is why I will spare them: It is so that they look at themselves afresh and at the State they so loved and are convicted. Repentance will flow in these ones. This is what I desire. This is what I prefer. I prefer repentance to destruction. It does not please Me to bring down these harsh judgments. But I Am a righteous judge and I will act righteously. All praise and glory to the Lord God Almighty, who is both merciful and just! The following Word from the Lord was first published on 1st January 2026, 7 months and 7 days ago. Reposting it here, as directed by the Lord.   TO WHOM IT WAS GIVEN TO HURT THE EARTH AND THE SEA I Am about to visit Japan. And then California also. Everything I told you I would do, I will do to them. I Am about to do it. I told you. My true prophets will know because I will tell them. Just before I do it, I will tell them. I will say to them, it is time. I will tell them to brace for impact. Because you, and they, will feel the impact of what I Am going to do. The shaking and the destruction of the earth and the people in those places will be immense. Shocking. It will be all that the survivors around the earth can talk about for a long time. That is, when they start talking. Because when this happens, at first, they will not talk. The shock will hit them. Some will then shake their fists in the air and will no longer follow Me. These ones did not know Me at all well before. But others will turn to Me in a big way. Prepare for this. Many will want to talk about Me suddenly. They will have questions. They will want to get right with Me. And My hand of mercy will be outstretched to these. Be ready to speak. Donald Trump is going. He will go shortly after California goes. And California is about to go. The seabed is in turmoil. Out of California, the underwater volcanoes are coming to life. Angels have been sent to command them to erupt. Angels are My messengers. They put My judgments into action. Remember the scrolls and the decrees? (The Book of Revelation, see below) Keep watching and waiting. When you see that Japan has had a magnitude 8 earthquake, a tsunami will follow. Then you will know California is next. The shaking will shift tectonic plates. I will shake the earth like a cottage. I have not told you this before, but this earthquake, the one that takes out California, will be felt further away than any earthquake before it. Other volcanoes in the vicinity will also erupt. Remember, I told you to keep an eye on the ring of fire? This is the time. This is the time when shipping will be interrupted and new paths will be found for the ships in order to bypass the volcanic activity. [In 2012 the Lord spoke about this, but I just did not understand at the time. He said: Way below the earth's crust, there will be a disturbance far greater than any before. Out upon the waters of the Pacific, there is going to be a disturbance that comes from far below. Shipping will be lost at this time. There will become an area that must now be avoided.] The Earth will never be the same again after this. Many, many sea creatures will die and will be washing up on far shores. This will go on for months. Dear one, this will be a terrible time for the people of the earth. Very trying. But incredibly, the wicked will continue to be wicked. It will be like they think time is short and they must get a whole lot more wickedness in before they go. Their hearts will harden, if that were at all possible. And although I Am in judgment mode and I Am very angry, I will be very controlled and perfect in all My judgments. You will have access to Me at all times. I will not be like the angry father here on earth who does not want to talk to anyone when he is in his angry mode. I do not want you to keep away from Me. But draw near and remain. This is the only way. Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Please note: I now believe there may be 2  mag. 8 earthquakes in Japan, happening close together. The Lord will speak to me on a subject over a period of time, adding detail to what He first said. If I don't catch everything, He will repeat what He said at a later time. Reading through my journal, I found that He had said Japan would have 2x mag. 8 quakes, adding that a mag. 12 would also happen there but at a later time. I saw Mount Fuji erupt in a dream some years ago. That may also happen at the same time as the 2 mag. 8 quakes. There has been increased activity in the ‘Ring of Fire' and the fault lines in America. That may continue for a while, or it may not. Psalm 91 says, “Whoever DWELLS in the shelter of the Most High….”  We dwell (live, remain) in the shelter of the Most High by casting off the things of this world and its sinful practices. By being in intimacy with Him and remaining so, humble and obedient, walking in His Ways. The peace of God which passes all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.   A Catastrophic Earthquake Is Coming, Get Out Now!  Karen Newsberry, 8/6/25 On the morning of July 29, 2025, at 8:16 am I heard the Lord speak; as I listened to His voice, I cried. I beg anyone who lives in California to please get out! Get out now! “Repentance falls on deaf ears; a nation once put under protection, MY protection, such divine and illustrated protection. The world is my footstool; have I not spoken of the many judgments coming to this world? For out of prophets and babes, even the children have spoken what I have shown them.  Destruction comes to a state far beyond the land where the depths of water abound.  California, I have called for your repentance and have heard few repent. Those that are in Me, I have heard. Sin abounds in your land; for the stench, I cannot bear. Sin is as a primary language for such a nation; California, your mountains will move out of their place, your waters will shake to and fro…your judgment is now! Your nation will look with fear in their eyes at what is coming. I have been mocked and scoffed at long enough by a stiff-necked people. America, this is just the beginning of what is coming. Trump will continue to do what he has been assigned to do, but his time is almost up, for division was his goal.” Please, a catastrophic earthquake is coming; leave! I've seen in a dream of the destruction; please heed the Lord's warning! Here is a portion of a video transcript from Brandon Biggs in December 2025, called:   A Major 8.4 Earthquake on the New Madrid Brandon Biggs, 12/14/2025  …. There will be great, great shakings in the nation. Great earthquakes! Great earthquakes. Great earthquakes. I see on the New Madrid... I see a great earthquake. And it will go, and it will shake, shake, shake. And it will be a sign. It will be a sign on the New Madrid. A sign's coming. A major sign. I see it all on this side. …. I see Missouri. I see Kentucky. I see Tennessee…. I see “8.4.” That's what I see. 8.4.  There will be a shaking in the Heartland. A revival is coming. I see drought; I see rain. He said this is weather manipulation and weather warfare….   Tennessee Earthquake Elizabeth Marie, 5/20/25 (David's notes in red) The links she provides below all document and track the Madrid quakes: Southeast Missouri Earthquakes in the Last Week Missouri Earthquake Track Earthquakes Near Tennessee 200+ Earthquakes Shake the New Madrid Fault On May 18, 2025, the LORD led me to this verse in Jeremiah: “The LION (Satan) has come up from his thicket, And the DESTROYER of nations is on his way. He has gone forth from his place To make your LAND desolate. Your CITIES will be laid waste, Without inhabitant.” Jeremiah 4:7 The ‘LION' in this verse is DEATH, coming from the hand of Satan, as it says in 1 Peter 5:8, who comes to destroy the cities and land: “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a ROARING like a LION, looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 He is that GREAT DESTROYER, like in the days of Moses, when the ‘destroyer' came into the Egyptians' homes and killed the firstborns: “For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and not allow the DESTROYER to come into your houses to strike you.” Exodus 12:23 We are called to RESIST him: “Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.” 1 Peter 5:9 After reading Jeremiah 4:7, I immediately felt great sorrow and started weeping for what is coming. In my spirit, I knew that the ‘heaviness' that I felt was concerning the destruction that is coming to the United States. I believe this includes EARTHQUAKES! The links above are about EARTHQUAKES that occurred in the last week near the New Madrid Fault Line, as well as the 4.1 earthquake in Tennessee on May 10, 2025. The one in TN happened approximately 30 miles south of Knoxville and was felt in several states, including all the way down to Atlanta, GA. I heard from many who actually felt it, who were hours away, and they said it felt like a train rumbling through their house. EARTHQUAKE DREAMS: I have received quite a few dreams concerning the New Madrid fault, along with confirmations from other prophetic people. The first one was posted in Z3NEWS back in 2016, about the CONNECTION of a 9.5 earthquake, and the DIVIDING OF THE LAND OF ISRAEL: “In this vision, I saw an outline map of America. I didn't see the state lines, but only the outline of the U.S. Then, the map zoomed to where the earthquake started and I saw a black dot pulsating on the epicenter. The dot was in the upper part of the middle of the country, however, I wasn't sure of which state. It seemed higher than the New Madrid fault. Then I saw ‘9.5' indicating the level on the Richter Scale. I was not given any dates or timing.” “I was also shown that if Israel is divided, so shall America be divided.” Then, more recently, on April 15th, 2024, I had this dream and posted it on April 17th, 2025: “I saw an outline of the MAP OF THE UNITED STATES. Then I saw a large RED TARGET BULLS-EYE pulsating in the area of the New Madrid Fault. Then I noticed smaller, red, bulls- eyes, all up and down the East Coast of America. I don't know how many, but at least 6 smaller targets were pulsating. END OF VISION” I was also shown about the LIQUEFACTION that often comes with an earthquake: SERIOUS EARTHQUAKE WARNINGS The LORD does not give me these things to bring FEAR, but to bring revelation and confirmations of HIS END-TIME PROPHECIES. I believe that HE wants each one of HIS children to seek HIM concerning these warnings, so that they might HEAR HIS VOICE, and follow HIS directions accordingly. For some, it might even mean to relocate….BUT only if, or when you hear HIS still, small voice. (I agree) “And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.” 1 King 19:11-12   Warning Words About a Coming Shaking!  Ken Dewey 7/27/26  Celeste and I have been praying, asking the LORD if we could take a short vacation from this work [at Desert Zion] just to REST and recuperate. When we asked this, we heard Him say: The LORD said: “Don't travel!” We ask Him, "Will the Financial System fail?" He said: “No, it will be jolted!” Jolted: definition: to strike, shake up, jar, as with a bumpy ride or with a sharp blow, to move along in a jerky manner. He said again: it will change. I asked Him how; He said to something more maneuverable.  “Yes, there will be changes in the landscape, great changes. Lives will be lost, and there will be positive changes too. There will be building damages and rebuilding.” “People will panic for essentials, so have them on hand. Some technology will fail. It must not be depended on. Depend on Me, I AM your LORD. Do not fear. Air travel will be suspended.” We have posted this Word of Warning, even as we have heard it spoken to us.  LORD, help your people to hear and be warned, and help them prepare.  ~ Desert Prophet Ken Dewey The light will shine in His glory… In the desert.   The Next Step, More of Me!  June 9, 2026 Celeste Dewey Our God is a practical God. This is a practical Word from Him for the days ahead. Some are wondering what to do to be ready for the coming shaking. The next step will definitely need to be clearly seen. This is what The LORD said to me: “The LORD says today, “I need more of your time! Push everything aside! You must stay alert and don't let any setbacks [in your life] bother you. Some people feel stretched beyond limits; they feel like they are doing all they can to keep going. Just open your hearts and be in the moment. You take care of your relationship with Me. Concentrate and focus on it! I will help you. Just give Me your time and attention; that's all! Do not be afraid to take the next step, more of Me. (This agrees with the Word Debbie Fenske received recently about not being afraid of the Lord and getting close to Him, which I share below.) Eyes of Promise, Hearts of Fire, watch Me mold them to be My instruments of promise for a purpose greater than any man could imagine. Watch Me use them for My Glory, for they will go farther with Me than any other. They will see Me move; they will see the change firsthand because their gaze is unobstructed. It is set on the One who formed them and fashioned them for something greater than themselves. See me move secretly, opening their hearts further and further to My Desires!”  Added Scripture to Consider: Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.  “I Love you, Yeshua!” I have posted this Word in obedience to my Holy Spirit teacher. God Bless you; you are in my prayers ~ Celeste Dewey   Do Not Fear My Love Debbie Fenske, 8/1/26 This is what the Lord began to speak to me as we were singing, No Longer A Slave. We are no longer slaves to fear.  “Yes, I say to you, My children, do not fear Me. Do not fear Me. Do not fear the great love I have for you. My love will draw you deep into Me. It's going to draw you deep into Me as you hang onto Me, and as you give Me all of your love. Do not fear where My love is going to be taking you. But look forward, expectantly, because you will know that My love has gone before you. It will be My love drawing you through your love for Me. So do not fear what I am going to be drawing you into. Because I will be drawing you into Myself. Deeper into Myself. Deeper into My love. Do not fear My love, My children.”  I felt that the Lord was using the song, Miracle Worker, to confirm that we don't have to fear. He is our Light in the darkness, and He's our Way Maker. And His love will lead us into dark places. But His light is in the darkness, going before us. Going through the darkness is helping us grow. We want all of God and we can trust Him in what He wants to do in us, because through it all He's our Light in the darkness, so we do not need to fear. He will always be our Light. Also, what came to me as I was typing this out was John 15. Out of His great love for us, it is His taking us through the pruning that will bring us deeper into Him.   Thank you Lord, for Your great love for us. We know there will be hard places that You are going to be leading us through. Even using us in. But we trust Your word to us, Lord. Thank You that it is always out of Your great love for us. And so we will not fear. We thank You that those You love, You prune. Thank You that in the pruning, through it all, You are bringing us to be Overcomers, and growing us more and more into Your image. So, we will not fear, because You tell us to not fear Your love. Thank You, loving Father. Amen.    Earthquake Warning for Wisconsin  Alison Pound, 08/14/26 link  August 2025  I Am the Lord. I Am here upon the earth for judgment. I will not relent in My judgments. I will not pause in My judgments. I Am a righteous God. All My judgments are righteous.  I will take America apart piece by piece. Until there is nothing left. She is a foul odor in My nostrils and a bitter taste upon My tongue. The cup is full. Full of America's iniquity.  I will not relent. There is to be another earthquake. A large crack will open up in the earth, many miles/kilometers long. I Am bringing this quake to a state where the people have long held Me in disdain. They are the rock'n roll state. Rock'n roll rules here. Unlike in the south where the blues is ‘it'. You do not know this state, and its fame.   But I have been watching them. My eyes miss nothing. The state of Wisconsin will have this earthquake. There will be many tremors ongoing after the California quake. But Wisconsin will have a large earthquake. The rock on which this state sits, deep down, has become quite thin. It is unstable.  There will be a division of the land. Eventually the USA will be broken apart top to bottom, north to south. Wisconsin has many farms, much produce. Feeding America. After this disaster they will no longer feed America.  

On this episode of Japan Station, I talk about the Kyushu Challenge, my recent 558 km walk from Iwakuni, Yamaguchi to Sakurajima, Kagoshima.

Welcome to episode 19 of PwP and today I will be diving into everything I know that is coming to the new Sakurajima update in just a couple days. If you don't want to know, wait to hear the episode until after the release.

Zwiedzanie kraju kwitnącej wiśni rozpoczęliśmy w Hiroszimie, skąd wybraliśmy się na wyspy Miyajima i Sakurajima, oferującą kąpiele w gorącym piasku wulkanicznym. Z kolei były: trekking w Kirishima National Park, kąpiele w gorących źródłach Beppu, wycieczka rowerowa widokową trasą Shimanami Kaido, podziwianie zamków w Okayamie i Osace, spacery po Nara i Kioto. Szukaliśmy śladów samurajów w Kanazawie. Zaproponowaliśmy wizytę w skansenie Hida no Sato w Takayamie i na farmie wasabi w Matsumoto. Ostatnim punktem programu było Tokio, skąd wyruszyliśmy na wycieczkę do Nikko z grobowcami szogunów. Gościem Jerzego Jopa był Mirosław Lubarski, doradca zarządu w Grupie Polskie Składy Budowlane Handel, podróżnik, fotografik.

S3 Episode 33 - Les thés bio de Kagoshima avec Setsuna Pour ce trente-troisième épisode, nous accueillons Amandine et Benjamin, les créateurs de la maison de thé Setsuna, spécialisée dans les thés bios japonais. Nous les avions rencontrés l'an dernier lors du marché de Noël de Shizen market (à retrouver dans notre épisode 25) : le courant était bien passé et surtout, leurs thés bio sont délicieux ! Nous les avons donc tout naturellement invités dans cet épisode pour qu'ils nous parlent de leur parcours et de leur région préférée, réputée pour son thé : la préfecture de Kagoshima. Et pour entamer cet épisode, ils nous offrent une remise de -15% sur tout le site de SETSUNA avec le code promo "TABIBITO".  Si vous démarrez de zéro dans l'univers du thé japonais, Benjamin sera là pour vous guider ! Après en avoir brièvement raconté l'histoire, il vous parlera des spécificités du thés japonais, de son mode de production, et vous éclairera sur les grands types de thés. De quoi éclaircir un peu les termes spécifiques à cet univers foisonnant pour vous aider à trouver le thé qui vous correspond le mieux. C'est maintenant au tour d'Amandine de reprendre le micro pour nous présenter la région autour de Kagoshima, la plus grande ville du Sud de Kyushu chargée d'histoire. La visite incontournable à ne pas manquer ? L'immense jardin Sengan-en qui donne sur la mer et sur le volcan Sakurajima dans la baie. Cette montagne de feu toujours très active crache en effet des cendres tous les jours de l'année. Malgré une surveillance constante, il est possible d'y faire très facilement des randonnées, puis de récupérer de sa marche en plongeant les pieds dans des bains d'eau chauffée par le volcan (ashiyu).  Qui dit volcanisme dit terres extraordinaires ! Kagoshima est donc réputée pour sa gastronomie, particulièrement pour son thé vous l'aurez compris, mais aussi pour ses céramiques particulières. Amandine nous donnera donc de bonnes adresses à ne pas manquer, avant de nous emmener en road trip vers les champs de théiers. Pour profiter de ces beaux paysages symétriques et rectilignes parfaitement taillés, direction Kirishima à quelques kilomètres, à la rencontre des petites feuilles vertes si savoureuses. Bonne écoute et bon voyage !  ************ Chapitrage : 00:47 : intro 01:10 : présentation de la maison de thés bio SETSUNA 02:41 : code promo "TABIBITO" pour -15% sur tout le site SETSUNA 03:40 : l'histoire d'Amandine et du Japon 06:48 : la relation de Benjamin avec le Japon 13:25 : les particularités du thé japonais 16:38 : histoire rapide du thé au Japon 19:18 : les différences entre thés chinois et thés japonais 23:08 : les régions productrices de thé au Japon 28:18 : les types de thés japonais : gyokuro, sencha, matcha, hojicha... et bien d'autres ! 35:23 : premiers pas à Kagoshima city 38:26 : les bonnes adresses d'Amandine 40:45 : le jardin Sengan-en 43:58 : le restaurant de tonkatsu à ne pas manquer  47:01 : le parc naturel national de Kirishima et la figure du tengu 50:59 : les champs de thés de Kirishima 54:15 : escapade sur le volcan Sakurajima, le plus actif du Japon 01:03:55 : la boutique de céramiste à ne pas manquer 01:09:13 : le coup de coeur de Benjamin 01:12:12 : le coup de coeur d'Amandine  01:15:17 : le mot de la fin ************  Le coup de coeur de Benjamin :  - série de vidéos sur les saisons au Japon de Ichiban Japan  Le coup de coeur d'Amandine :   - roman "Pachinko" de Min Jin Lee Le compte instagram de Setsuna ************ Comme toujours, la carte pour retrouver les lieux présentés par Amandine si vous avez un voyage en préparation. ************ Nous remercions Yannick de La Feuille - production sonore & sound design qui a créé notre générique et nos jingles, et pour son aide précieuse au cours des premiers enregistrements.

Many years ago, my job was to help Australian companies crack the Japanese market.  One of the elements of that job was explaining the Japanese business psyche to the Australian businesspeople targeting Nippon.  As you might imagine this wasn't an easy task, as the mindsets are so different.  White colonisation of Australia started in the late 1700s and the first convicts and settlers arrived into a vast continent, without one permanent structure, bridge, road or port.  Aboriginal life was nomadic.  Hunt everything you can in the area around you, then pack everything up and move to the next location. You didn't need modern infrastructure for that lifestyle.    The consequence has been that the culture built up amongst the early English settlers was very much one of “can do” and optimism that they could tame the heat, droughts, fires, cyclones and floods that are part and parcel of life in Australia.  Six generations ago, my ancestors hacked their way through the bush by hand, to create fields for agriculture and to feed the cattle and sheep. If you couldn't take it, you could always go back to Mother England.   Japan is a also country with no shortage of natural calamities.  Earthquakes trigger fires in cities and wooden houses burn quickly.  They also trigger tsunami and these can wipe out entire towns, as we have seen in 2011. Typhoons and floods destroy crops and building.  Floods and landslides are common.  My super wealthy, famous Japanese friend was walking his dog after heavy rain and a wall suddenly collapsed and killed him.  Japan has volcanos as well and recently the well known Sakurajima volcano has had a major eruption.  This tough environment is part and parcel of Japan and there is no Mother England to retreat to – this is it for the Japanese population.  The mindset of the Japanese in my experience is one of the glass is half-empty and life is difficult.   When I was trying to explain the different attitude between the Aussie glass half full and the Japanese glass half empty approach, I found a useful comparison.  I discovered a graph showing the degrees of business optimism in Australia spread over many years.  Fundamentally the Aussies were positive and optimistic.  Japan has regular tankan surveys of business optimism and fundamentally the Japanese scores are usually negative or very low in terms of positivity.  When you compare the graphs, the results are strikingly different.   Historically, when a person working the land in Australia needed to replace an implement, there would be a six month turn around, as the sailing ship went off to Merry Old England and then sailed back with the replacement.  In the interim, people became innovative and flexible about finding a solution.  It created a “can do” mindset, because there was no choice.  So having these problem solving, positive, “can do” Aussies convincing Japanese buyers to start relying on them was a huge job.  I would show them the graph of how basically for the Japanese the glass was always half-empty and so the Aussies should curb their enthusiasm and approach the sale in a different way.   This is a generalisation and it doesn't make it any less true, but Australia is a country of creating things out of nothing and finding solutions and Japan is more one of caution.  Once you understand that the Japanese are not expecting anything spectacular to happen and are more concerned about things going horribly wrong, then you focus on reducing risk, rather than trumpeting your capability and your successes.  This is where track record, data and “smarts” about doing business in Japan come in.    Japan is a graveyard for MVP (Minimum Viable Product) launches.  The product has to be working extremely well, with no defects or problems. If it has any of these issues, the situation becomes problematic very quickly. Similarly, early adopters in business are a small crowd here.  Basically, in business, nobody wants to go first.  “You trial it, we will watch very, very carefully and if it doesn't blow up, we may take a look at it” is the usual ethos.  Note the word “may”, because even if it goes well, they may not take any action.  You don't get into trouble in a Japanese company for not being a path finder. Steady as she goes is preferred to anything smacking of risk taking.   When things go wrong in Australia, then the suppler gets to work to fix it and if some money needs to change hands as a result, then it gets done and everyone moves forward.  In Japan, you have to fix it, but that isn't where it ends.  You have to head around there to apologise in person, bearing gifts and expect to be lambasted for your poor reliability and shoddy work.  You also have to have forensic detail concerning why this problem occurred in the first place and a detailed, clear plan of making sure it never happens again.  Even then you may be removed as a supplier, especially so if you are not genuinely contrite and authentic in your remorse, for having caused the buyer problems.  Never forget, your buyer has their own buyers. If your problem got shared with their part of the food chain, then you have endangered their trust with their own clients.  This is the most disgraceful and egregious error you can make for any Japanese company who values their reputation and they all value their reputation.   Approach the deal with a solid understanding the Japanese side isn't going to get excited about your widget and that they are world champion sceptics.  Emphasise the track record, safeguards, measurement systems, quality control and the worst case scenario plan of action.  Expect to start small, in order to prove what you say is true.  Keep in mind that apart from you, no one is in a hurry to do the deal and so adjust your expectations accordingly

O vulcão Sakurajima, situado no sudoeste do Japão, entrou em erupção no último final de semana e deve resultar na evacuação da população que reside próxima ao local. Não há informações sobre feridos ou mortos em decorrência da atividade vulcânica.

Can a drone prevent the loss of life from volcanos? David Adjiashvili is Co-Founder and Vice President of Products at Drone Harmony.  Drone Harmony is a software as a service company that automates mission planning in the most challenging vertical inspection scenarios.  Their software enables cost-effective deployment of drone technology in industries where existing technologies are unable to deliver. And it enables pilots with minimal training to collect high quality, reproducible data. As a Swiss company, Drone Harmony understands that the safety of your data is essential and even deploys their system on your premises. The company was founded in 2016 by a team of problem solvers with a passion for drones, software and automation. In addition to being one of those founders and Chief Scientist, he is also senior scientist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. His field of expertise is Algorithm Design and Mathematical Optimization, and he has been responsible for algorithmic development of the Drone Harmony Mission Planner. David received his Bachelors degree in computer science from the Tel Aviv University and his Master's in applied mathematics from the Weizmann Institute of Science. He completed his Ph.D. in mathematics at the ETH Zurich in 2012 specializing on algorithm design for planning and optimization problems. He has since been employed in the Mathematics Department at ETH and worked on various research and industrial projects in the field of optimization. In 2021 Drone Harmony assisted DERYL Group KK and the Kyoto University in generating an up-to-date high-resolution 3D model of Japan's Sakurajima volcano.  Sakurajima is one of the world's most active volcanoes.  It is located in the south of Japan, with approximately 600,000 people living within 4 kilometers. Scientists are predicting a major eruption within the next 30 years.  The project team used Drone Harmony to develop the 3-D model and run various simulations for disaster prevention and response, with the goal of developing evacuation and mitigation plans for all potential disaster scenarios. Mapping a terrain is typically a straightforward process, but the Project Team quickly learned that a large geographic area, much of which is inaccessible, hostile and changing poses several challenges. In this episode of the Drone Radio Show, David talks about Drone Harmony, the company's 3-D mapping services and how that technology can be used to accurately map  and model large vertical geographic areas.

The Gary Null Show is here to inform you on the best news in health, healing, the environment.  If you would like to sign up for the new PRN Newsletter provide your email to Prnstudio@gmail.com   Professor Sunetra Gupta: the epidemic is on its way out Brendan O'Neill: The danger of the 'chattering class' Link confirmed between healthy diet and prostate cancer prevention University of Calgary, August 6, 2020   The Canadian Cancer Society estimates that more than 23,000 Canadians will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2020. Among other risk factors, more and more studies point to diet as a major factor in the development of prostate cancer, as it is for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. Using data from a study conducted in Montreal between 2005 and 2012, a research team led by Professor Marie-Elise Parent of Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) has shown a link between diet and prostate cancer in the article “Dietary Patterns Are Associated with Risk of Prostate Cancer in a Population-Based Case-Control Study in Montreal, Canada”, published in Nutrients in June. Three main dietary profiles analyzed INRS PhD student Karine Trudeau, the lead author of the study, based her analysis on three main dietary profiles: healthy diet, salty Western diet including alcohol, and sugar-rich Western diet with beverages. The first profile leans heavily towards fruits, vegetables, and plant proteins like tofu and nuts. The salty Western diet with alcohol includes more meat and beverages such as beer and wine. The third profile is rich in pasta, pizza, desserts, and sugary carbonated drinks. The study took age, ethnicity, education, family history, and date of last prostate cancer screening into account. Marie-Elise Parent and Karine Trudeau found a link between a healthy diet and a lower risk of prostate cancer. Conversely, a Western diet with sweets and beverages was associated with a higher risk and seemed to be a factor in more aggressive forms of cancer. The study did not show any clear link between a Western diet with salt and alcohol and the risk of developing the disease. Moving away from the typical approach used in epidemiological studies, which involves looking at one nutrient or food group at a time, the researchers collected data from a broader dietary profile. “It's not easy to isolate the effect of a single nutrient,” explained Ms. Trudeau. “For example, foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, promote iron absorption. Calcium is often found in dairy products, which also contain vitamin D. Our more targeted approach takes this synergy into account to produce more meaningful results that public health authorities can use to formulate recommendations. Rather than counting on one miracle food, people should look at their overall diet.” “For a long time we've suspected that diet might play a role in the development of prostate cancer, but it was very hard to pinpoint the specific factors at play,” said Professor Parent. “This study is significant because it looks at dietary habits as a whole. We've uncovered evidence that, we hope, can be used to develop prevention strategies for prostate cancer, the most common cancer among men in Canadaand many other countries.”   Compounds in 'monster' radish could help tame cardiovascular disease American Chemical Society, August 9, 2020 Step aside carrots, onions and broccoli. The newest heart-healthy vegetable could be a gigantic, record-setting radish. In a study appearing in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, scientists report that compounds found in the Sakurajima Daikon, or "monster," radish could help protect coronary blood vessels and potentially prevent heart disease and stroke. The finding could lead to the discovery of similar substances in other vegetables and perhaps lead to new drug treatments. Grown for centuries in Japan, the Sakurajima Daikon is one of the Earth's most massive vegetables. In 2003, the Guinness Book of World Records certified a Sakurajima weighing nearly 69 pounds as the world's heaviest radish. Radishes are good sources of antioxidants and reportedly can reduce high blood pressure and the threat of clots, a pair of risk factors for heart attack and stroke. But to date, no studies have directly compared the heart-health benefits of the Sakurajima Daikon to other radishes. To address this knowledge gap, Katsuko Kajiya and colleagues sought to find out what effects this radish would have on nitric oxide production, a key regulator of coronary blood vessel function, and to determine its underlying mechanisms. The researchers exposed human and pig vascular endothelial cells to extracts from Sakurajima Daikon and smaller radishes. Using fluorescence microscopy and other analytical techniques, the research team found the Sakurajima Daikon radish induced more nitric oxide production in these vascular cells than a smaller Japanese radish. They also identified trigonelline, a plant hormone, as the active component in Sakurajima Daikon that appears to promote a cascade of changes in coronary blood vessels resulting improved nitric oxide production.   Placebos prove powerful even when people know they're taking one Michigan State University, August 7, 2020   How much of a treatment is mind over matter? It is well documented that people often feel better after taking a treatment without active ingredients simply because they believe it's real -- known as the placebo effect. A team of researchers from Michigan State University, University of Michigan and Dartmouth College is the first to demonstrate that placebos reduce brain markers of emotional distress even when people know they are taking one. Now, evidence shows that even if people are aware that their treatment is not "real" -- known as nondeceptive placebos -- believing that it can heal can lead to changes in how the brain reacts to emotional information. "Just think: What if someone took a side-effect free sugar pill twice a day after going through a short convincing video on the power of placebos and experienced reduced stress as a result?", said Darwin Guevarra, MSU postdoctoral fellow and the study's lead author. "These results raise that possibility." The new findings, published in the most recent edition of the journal Nature Communications, tested how effective nondeceptive placebos -- or, when a person knows they are receiving a placebo -- are for reducing emotional brain activity.  "Placebos are all about 'mind over matter," said Jason Moser, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at MSU. "Nondeceptive placebos were born so that you could possibly use them in routine practice. So rather than prescribing a host of medications to help a patient, you could give them a placebo, tell them it can help them and chances are -- if they believe it can, then it will." To test nondeceptive placebos, the researchers showed two separate groups of people a series of emotional images across two experiments. The nondeceptive placebo group members read about placebo effects and were asked to inhale a saline solution nasal spray. They were told that the nasal spray was a placebo that contained no active ingredients but would help reduce their negative feelings if they believed it would. The comparison control group members also inhaled the same saline solution spray, but were told that the spray improved the clarity of the physiological readings the researchers were recording. The first experiment found that the nondeceptive placebos reduced participants' self-reported emotional distress. Importantly, the second study showed that nondeceptive placebos reduced electrical brain activity reflecting how much distress someone feels to emotional events, and the reduction in emotional brain activity occurred within just a couple of seconds. "These findings provide initial support that nondeceptive placebos are not merely a product of response bias - telling the experimenter what they want to hear -- but represent genuine psychobiological effects," said Ethan Kross, co-author of the study and a professor of psychology and management at the University of Michigan.     Greater coffee intake associated with decreased depressive symptoms among older Japanese women Nakamura Gakuen University (Japan), August 5, 2020   According to news reporting originating from Fukuoka, Japan, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Depression in elderly people is a major global concern around the world. Epidemiological evidence of the association of beverages with depressive symptoms has received research attention; however, epidemiological studies on the association of coffee and green tea consumption with depressive symptoms among the elderly population are limited.” Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Nakamura Gakuen University, “The objective of this study is to cross-sectionally examine the association of depressive symptoms with the intake of coffee, green tea, and caffeine and to verify the antidepressant effect of caffeine. The subjects were 1,992 women aged 65-94 years. Intakes of coffee, green tea, and caffeine, as well as depressive symptoms, were assessed with a validated brief dietary history questionnaire (BDHQ) and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (as) for depressive symptoms with adjustments for potential confounders. Coffee intake was associated with a lower prevalence of depressive symptoms, the ORs of which for the 4th versus the 1st quartiles of intake was 0.64 (95% CI, 0.46-0.88, P for trend = 0.01) in a fully adjusted model. Caffeine intake was marginally associated with depressive symptoms, but the association was not statistically significant (OR 0.75; 95% CL 0,55-1,02. P for trend = 0.058). The result suggests that the inverse association of coffee intake with depressive symptoms might be associated with not only caffeine intake but also some other substances in coffee or factors related to coffee intake.” According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Because of the cross-sectional design of the present study, longitudinal studies are required to confirm the present finding.”     Sugary drinks and disease: Chugging 2 sodas per day increases your risk of premature death University College Dublin (Ireland), August 8, 2020   On top of raising blood sugar and contributing to abdominal fat, European researchers found that soda can also lead to an earlier death. Published in JAMA Internal Medicine, the study demonstrates that daily consumption of two or more sodas – diet or not – and other sweetened drinks corresponds to a 17 percent increase in the risk of premature death from all causes. The “bitter truth” of soda consumption: premature death To examine the relationship between soda consumption and the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, the researchers studied 451,743 individuals living in 10 European countries, including Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The participants were from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EIPC) study, one of the largest ongoing cohort studies on diet and its relation to cancer and other chronic diseases. None of the participants have any chronic conditions. The team studied their soda consumption for an average of 16 years. During that period, a total of 41,693 participants died from all causes, eleven percent of whom reported drinking at least two sodas daily, while nine percent reported drinking not more than one per month. The participants who drank two or more glasses of soda also had a higher risk of death from heart conditions. Meanwhile, those who reported consuming other beverages sweetened with either sugar or artificial sweeteners had a greater risk of death from digestive diseases. Participants who drank diet soda weren't off the hook either. The team reported that those who drank diet sodas also had a greater risk of earlier death from cardiovascular disease(CVD). Taken together, these findings indicate that the consumption of soda, diet soda and other sweetened beverages is linked to premature death from all causes, including CVD and digestive diseases. The researchers noted that their study supports public health campaigns aimed at limiting the consumption of sodas and other sugar-laden drinks.       Fisetin derivative shows promise against Alzheimer disease in mice Salk Institute, August 5 2020.    he September 2020 issue of Redox Biology published the finding of Salk Institute researchers of an ability for a compound derived from fisetin, a flavonoid occurring in many plants, to reverse memory loss in a mouse model of Alzheimer disease. The compound, known as CMS121, which was synthesized by Pamela Maher and colleagues, was recently demonstrated to slow brain cell aging. "This was a more rigorous test of how well this compound would work in a therapeutic setting than our previous studies on it," commented Dr Maher. "Based on the success of this study, we're now beginning to pursue clinical trials." In the current research, normal mice and mice that were genetically modified to develop Alzheimer disease were given CMS121 starting at nine months of age. Untreated Alzheimer mice and normal mice served as controls. At 12 months, memory and behavior tests revealed that treated Alzheimer mice performed as well as control mice and that Alzheimer mice that did not receive CMS121 performed worse.  An increase in lipid peroxidation was observed in brains cells of untreated Alzheimer mice in comparison with Alzheimer mice that received CMS121. "That not only confirmed that lipid peroxidation is altered in Alzheimer's, but that this drug is actually normalizing those changes," remarked first author Gamze Ates.  It was further determined that CMS121 lowered levels of the lipid-producing molecule fatty acid synthetase (FASN). Brain samples from human Alzheimer patients revealed that greater amounts of FASN were present in comparison with cognitively healthy patients, suggesting that FASN could be a drug target for Alzheimer disease.  "There has been a big struggle in the field right now to find targets to go after," Dr Maher stated. "So, identifying a new target in an unbiased way like this is really exciting and opens lots of doors."     REM sleep tunes eating behavior University of Bern (Germany),  August 7, 2020   Despite our broad understanding of the different brain regions activated during rapid-eye-movement sleep, little is known about what this activity serves for. Researchers at the University of Bern and the Inselspital have now discovered that the activation of neurons in the hypothalamus during REM sleep regulates eating behaviour: suppressing this activity in mice decreases appetite. While we are asleep, we transition between different phases of sleep each of which may contribute differently to us feeling rested. During (rapid eye movement) REM sleep, a peculiar sleep stage also called paradoxical sleep during which most dreaming occurs, specific brain circuits show very high electrical activity, yet the function of this sleep-specific activity remains unclear.  Among the brain regions that show strong activation during REM sleep are areas that regulate memory functions or emotion, for instance. The lateral hypothalamus, a tiny, evolutionarily well conserved brain structure in all mammals also shows high activity during REM sleep. In the awake animals, neurons from this brain region orchestrate appetite and the consumption of food and they are involved in the regulation of motivated behaviours and addiction. In a new study, researchers headed by Prof. Dr. Antoine Adamantidis at the University of Bern set out to investigate the function of the activity of hypothalamic neurons in mice during REM sleep. They aimed at better understanding how neural activation during REM sleep influences our day-to-day behaviour. They discovered that suppressing the activity of these neurons decreases the amount of food the mice consume. "This suggests that REM sleep is necessary to stabilize food intake", says Adamantidis. The results of this study have been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Long-lasting effect on neuronal activity and feeding behavior The researcher discovered that specific activity patterns of neurons in the lateral hypothalamus that usually signal eating in the awake mouse are also present when the animals were in the stage of REM sleep. To assess the importance of these activity patterns during REM sleep the research group used a technique called optogenetics, with which they used light pulses to precisely shut down the activity of hypothalamic neurons during REM sleep. As a result, the researchers found that the activity patterns for eating were modified and that the animals consumed less food. "We were surprised how strongly and persistently our intervention affected the neural activity in the lateral hypothalamus and the behaviour of the mice", says Lukas Oesch, the first author of the study. He adds: "The modification in the activity patterns was still measurable after four days of regular sleep." These findings suggest that electrical activity in hypothalamic circuits during REM sleep are highly plastic and essential to maintain a stable feeding behaviour in mammals.  It is a question of quality These findings point out that sleep quantity alone is not solely required for our well-being, but that sleep quality plays a major role in particular to maintain appropriate eating behaviour. "This is of particular relevance in our society where not only sleep quantity decreases but where sleep quality is dramatically affected by shift work, late night screen exposure or social jet-lag in adolescents", explains Adamantidis. The discovered link between the activity of the neurons during REM sleep and eating behaviour may help developing new therapeutical approaches to treat eating disorders. It might also be relevant for motivation and addiction. "However, this relationship might depend on the precise circuitry, the sleep stage and other factors yet to be uncovered", adds Adamantidis.   The key role of zinc in elderly immunity Federal University of Juiz de Fora (Brazil), August 7, 2020   According to news reporting originating from Juiz de Fora, Brazil, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, “The COVID-19 infection can lead to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), mainly affecting patients aged 60 and older. Preliminary data suggest that the nutritional status can change the course of the infection, and on the matter, zinc is crucial for growth, development, and the maintenance of immune function.” Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, “In the absence of treatment for this virus, there is an urgent need to find alternative methods that can contribute to control of disease. The aim of this paper is to establish the relation between zinc and COVID-19. From the prior scientific knowledge, we have performed a review of the literature and examine the role of zinc in immune function in the infection by COVID-19. Our findings are that the zinc as an anti-inflammatory agent may help to optimize immune function and reduce the risk of infection.” According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Zinc supplementation can be a useful strategy to reduce the global burden of infection in the elderly, there is a need the increased reporting to improve our understanding of COVID-19 and the care of affected patients.”

In the Kojiki version of the myth, a hare tricks some wanizame into being used as a land bridge in order to travel from the Island of Oki to Cape Keta.  Cape Keta is now identified with the Hakuto Coast in the present-day city of Tottori.  The hare challenges the sharks to see whose clan is larger—that of the sharks, or that of the hares.  The hare had the sharks lie in a row across the sea. The hare then hopped across them, counting them as he went. Nearing the end, the hare exclaims that he has deceived the sharks in order to use them as a bridge. The last shark attacks the hare, ripping his fur from him.  Ōkuninushi and his eighty brothers were traveling through the Inaba region to woo Princess Yakami of Inaba.  While the brothers were on their way to visit the princess, the flayed hare stopped them and asked them for help. Rather than helping the hare, they advised it to wash in the sea and dry itself in the wind, which naturally caused it great pain.  In contrast Ōkuninushi, unlike his quarreling elder brothers, told the hare to bathe in fresh water from the mouth of a river, and then roll in the pollen of cattails.  The body of the hare was restored to its original state, and after its recovery, revealed its true form as a god.  In gratitude, the hare told Ōkuninushi, the lowest born in the family, that he would marry Princess Yakami.  Hare of Inaba legend emphasizes the benevolence of Ōkuninushi, who was later enshrined at the Izumo-taisha.   Japanese scholars have traditionally interpreted the struggle between the kind Ōkuninushi and his wrathful eighty brothers as a symbolic representation of civilization and barbarism in the emergent Japanese state.  The version of the Hare of Inaba legend told in the Kojiki has been compared to similar myths from Java in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and India. Ise ga Naru version Long ago, when Japanese goddess Amaterasu and her entourage traveled around at the boundary of Yakami in Inaba, they were looking for a place for their temporary palace, suddenly a white hare appeared. The white hare bit Amaterasu's clothes and took her to an appropriate place for a temporary palace along Nakayama mountain and Reiseki mountain. About two hours' walk, accompanied by the white hare, Amaterasu reached a mountain top plain, which is now called Ise ga naru. Then, the white hare disappeared at Ise ga naru. The place of this legend is in Yazu town and Tottori city, in Tottori Prefecture (ancient Inaba and Houki), where the shrine Hakuto Jinja reveres the white hare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_of_Inaba Rabbits, so cute and gentle, so furry, soft and warm are one of the animals which the Japanese are most familiar with.  Not only are they popular pets ( there was a veritable house-rabbit craze in the Meiji Period), but most schools and kindergartens keep them ( in a pen outdoors), to teach kids about resposibility and caring for living creatures. It is because of this connection with fertility and abundant offspring that the ancient Asians (Indians, Chinese, Japanese, etc) have long said that there is a rabbit (hare) on the moon ( in Japan it is actually pounding mochi rice cakes).  It seems perfectly logical to me since I have to know that THE MOON has also been considered to be deeply connected to pregnancy and childbirth. Thus, the MOON, a God of Conception and Childbirth, with a servant, the symbol of fertility- the HARE – are a natural combination. Since rabbits were associated with having children, there were various folk beliefs which existed throughout Japan linking rabbits with prayers for easy delivery.  Eating rabbit meat to ensure the mother and child`s safety was customary in certain parts of Japan, while in others ( interestingly) it was shunned- in the belief that doing so would lead to the chlid being born with a hare-lip ( mitsu-guchi, 三っ口). And though the practice of eating rabbit meat before delivery (or the belief that it should be avoided) have completely died out, there are still a few shrines around Japan which are dedicated to rabbits as  messengers of the God(s), that are popular places to pray for conception and then easy delivery. Another reason that hares have been have been worshipped at certain shrines, or in some places are believed to have the power of prophecy ( for example, predicting the weather) is because of a very famous story in Japan`s oldest text, the KOJIKI. Another interesting Hare related myth which has led to the animal`s deification.  At Uji Shrine  there is a story of the Emperor Nintoku`s son, while once fleeing  for his life, was guided to safety by a hare (what probably really happened is that he  followed the trails in the bush made by rabbits or other small animals). That is why a Hare-Deity is believed to protect the shrine.  Some even say that the place name UJI derives from Usagi- miCHI- Rabbit-Road!. On the volcanic island of Sakurajima (桜島) in Kagoshima Prefecture, there also seems to have been a belief in a rabbit/hare deity which was called O-Mimi-Naga-Sama (お耳長様)- Lord long-Ears! An Edo Period text contains thid story:  On Sakurajima Island there lived a large hare which was believed, by the local residents, to be the deity of the mountain ( the island is a volcano).  Because of that, no one there ever ate hare meat. In fact, even mentioning the word hare ( USAGI), was believed to bring on a stomachache. Thus, in conversation everyone would refer to this animal as Lord Long Ears ( O-Mimi-Naga-Sama). Once a member of the Satsuma Clan ( the rulers of that region) came to island for a hunting expedition, and killed an big, old hare. The Volcano erupted. Hunting was subsequently banned. http://blog.alientimes.org/2011/01/for-the-year-of-the-rabbit-some-musings-on-rabbits-and-hares-in-japanese-culture-and-history/ A place related to the legend of the white rabbit of Inaba, one of the most well-known myths in Japan. https://www.jnto.go.jp/eng/spot/natuscen/hakuto-beach.html Hakuto Coast is a beautiful beach of white sand. It is included as one of the 100 Selected Beaches in Japan, and is a popular spot for sea bathing in summer and surfing in winter. You can see the pretty pink Japanese rose flowers, for which this place is the southern limit for growing naturally.  It is a very famous place in Japan as the setting of the myth of the white rabbit of Inaba. Now it seems the Japanese love the rabbit, and have many Rabbit Shrines Nearby the coast, is Hakuto Shrine, enshrining the legendary white rabbit as well as, and Mitarashi-ike, a pond in which the white rabbit apparently washed its body.  There is a mysterious legend about Mitarashi-ike, which states that the water level remains the same in any kind of weather.  As a result, it is also known as “Fuzou Fugen No Ike” (a pond with unchanged water level).  There is an island offshore from which the white rabbit returned, so you can imagine what it was like in the mythological age.  It is also a place with a beautiful sunset view.  Supposidly you will have a romantic time if you visit this place with your partner. The oldest shrine of Japan https://www.jnto.go.jp/eng/spot/shritemp/o-miwa-shrine.html based on the old Shinto that worships mountains Omiwa Jinja in Yamato, current Sakurai City, of Nara is said to be the oldest shrine of Japan that date back to the age before emperors. The shrine is dedicated to Omononushi-no-mikoto who appears in myths.  Because his soul was comforted in Mt. Miwa just behind the shrine, the entire mountain is the subject of worship. Omononushi-no-mikoto is the god known for saving the white rabbit of Inaba, so “Nadeusagi (rabbit to stroke)” is placed at the entrance of the gathering hall.  It is said that stroking the rabbit will take away your pain.  Stroked by so many people the rabbit is now mirror-shiny. The "Rabbit Shrine" The Higashitenno-Okazaki Shrine in Kyoto, not far from the much larger famous Heian Shrine. This smaller shrine is usullay empty and you m ay be abe to roam around in solitude and appreciate the Kawaii (cute in Japanese) rabbit statues. Only in Japan could there be an entire shrine built with rabbit statues and miniature rabbit figurines lined up perfectly straight trusting that no one will remove them.  This is an “off the beaten track” shrine, and is worth checking out. Okazaki Shrine has served as a shrine for safe birth since 1178, and the Ujiko-sai festival is held every October in celebration.  The rabbit is considered a helper spirit of Okazaki Shrine. This is because many rabbits lived in the mountain behind the shrine. There are many sculptures of rabbits on the precincts (they are seen on pedestals of guardian dogs, in dedicatory lanterns, and above doorways). Notably, there is a black granite statue of a rabbit in the washbasin. This rabbit statue is for the believer who wishes to have a baby. Okazaki Shrine is also a shrine for marriage. This is because the famous heroic god Susano Ono Mikoto, who is enshrined at the shrine, slayed a demon to marry the goddess Kushi Inada Hime. For these reasons, many couples hold their wedding at Okazaki shrine. http://kyoto-weddings.jp/okazaki-shrine.html http://www.afar.com/places/higashitenno-okazaki-shrine-sakyo-ward What Is called the Bunny Shrine, is officially called Jyusozan-Mojyubosatsudo (鷲巣山文殊菩薩堂). This magical place is about a 15 minute walk away from the famous Hachiman Shrine. Just walk upstream of the Hirose River on the Sakunami Highway, then look for stairs that lead up into a cluster of towering cedar trees.   Go up and you will find a mix of Shinto, Buddha, and funny bunny images abound.  There is so much going on at this shrine that it is even hard to begin to explain.  In 1603, founder of Sendai feudal lord Date Masamune built Jyusozan-Mojyubosatsudo.  However, in fact, this place is neither shrine, nor temple. It is a place to worship, or at least give thanks and gratitude to, the spirit of the rabbit. Why?  The real reason would be because Date Masamune was born in the year of the rabbit, according to the Chinese lunar calendar.  As such, there are several rabbit images including pictures, wooden votive tablets, a statue at the second set of stairs, and the massive bunny ready to scare any unknowing visitor that walks through the front gate and glimpses to the right!  Look closely at the roof on the main shrine building and from the right angle you can see some rabbit decorations doing handstands!  Upon a little more research, I learned this is one of the 12 Chinese zodiac animal pilgrimage sites in Sendai.  The Bunny Shrine makes for a few fun photos, is not crowded, and is full of mystery.   http://en.japantravel.com/miyagi/bunny-shrine-in-sendai/26984 Since in days of old, the zodiac system used for designating years, months, days, time of day, and direction was adopted by the Japanese.  This happened officially during the reign of the Empress Suiko in the early 7th century.  Over the subsequent centuries, this system- called ETO, or JU-NISHI in Japanese, gained terrific popularity ( because of the fortune telling and decorative opportunities)- especially in the Edo Period (1600-1868).  Even after the Japanese abandoned their old calendar and started using the Western (Gregorian) system, they have still clung firmly to the Zodiac.  In fact now it might be more to be more popular than ever.  Included in the zodiac is the Rabbit/Hare The only problem with this current image of rabbits is that the animal adopted as the fourth sign in the Chinese/Japanese zodiac was not exactly the rabbit ( an animal which breeds in burrows underground and which was introduced from Europe probably just before the Edo Period) but THE HARE- an animal native to Japan (in several species) and which has played a major role in folklore and mythology. As oppossed to symbolizing cuteness, these animals were considered cunning tricksters.   Evidence of this belief can be found in various folk tales featuring very tricky and mischivious hares.  The most famous of these stories is probably KACHIKACHI YAMA-  a childrens story in which a rabbit cruelly tortures and finally kills a tanuki, which had killed an old woman (Yes, Japanese old children`s stories are just as violent and gruesome as European children`s stories!)  Importantly, hares were also considered symbols of  fertility (as they are in most of the rest of the world). for the reason that they breed like……. well, uhh,…. like….RABBITS (as the phrase goes). Besides being symbols of peace, docility and cuteness, they are also considered to be lucky. This is because the Chinese character usually used to write this animals name- 兎　(another character – 卯, is used to represent the rabbit as a zodiac sign) is very similar to the character 免 ( manukareru), which means to get rid of, or make vanish- in other words- rabbits some believe that rabbits will make BAD LUCK DISAPPEAR.  Just in the same way as when you spot a rabbit in the wild and- in the blink of an eye- ITS GONE! Now I am going to discuss the Lepus brachyurus or Japanese hare.  Most of the information I learned was from an article  By Jennifer Holmberg The Japanese hare is reddish-brown, with a body length that ranges from 45 to 54 centimetres (18 to 21 in), and a body weight of 1.3 to 2.5 kilograms (2.9 to 5.5 lb). Its tail will grow to lengths of 2 to 5 centimetres (0.79 to 1.97 in). Its front legs can be from 10 to 15 centimetres (3.9 to 5.9 in) long and the back legs from 12 to 15 centimetres (4.7 to 5.9 in) long. The ears grow to be 6 to 8 centimetres (2.4 to 3.1 in) long, and the tail 2 to 5 centimetres (0.79 to 1.97 in) long.  Adult Japan­ese hares are mid-size mam­mals with body masses rang­ing from 1.3 to 2.5 kg. There are vari­a­tions in color from a dark brown to a red brown with areas of white. All four sub­species are brown­ish in the sum­mer, but L. brachyu­rus an­gusti­dens and L.​b.​lyoni change their coat col­ors to white in the win­ter.  In areas of northern Japan, the west coast, and the island of Sado, where there is heavy snowfall, the Japanese hare loses its coloration in the autumn, remaining white until the spring, when the reddish-brown fur returns.   Like all mem­bers of the Order Lago­mor­pha, Japan­ese hares have a sec­ond set of in­cisors, or peg teeth, be­hind their first upper in­cisors. Japan­ese hares are en­demic to Japan. They are com­monly found on the main­land is­lands of Hon­shu, Shikoku and Kyushu and most of the sur­round­ing Japan­ese is­lands, ex­clud­ing Hokkaido. There are four sub­species of the Japan­ese hare found in dif­fer­ent ge­o­graph­i­cal re­gions. Lepus brachyu­rus an­gusti­dens is found in north­ern Hon­shu, L. b. lyoni is found on Sado Is­land, L. b. brachyu­rus is found in south­ern Hon­shu, and L. b. ok­ien­sis is found on the Oki Is­lands. There are vari­a­tions be­tween Japan­ese hare sub­species found on the main is­land and those found on sur­round­ing is­lands. The di­men­sions of a main­land fe­male Japan­ese hare de­scribed in 1905 were 505 mm head and body length, 40 mm tail length, 135 mm hind­foot length and 78 mm ear length. Mea­sure­ments from a fe­male Japan­ese hare from Oki Is­land were a 506 mm head and body length, a 54 mm tail, a 138 mm hind foot and a 78 mm ear. The sub­species found on the smaller is­lands ap­pear to have sex­ual di­mor­phism, with the vast ma­jor­ity of skull char­ac­ter­is­tics being smaller in males than in fe­males. On the main is­land, the only fea­ture that is not equal in size is the width of the palate. In gen­eral, the sub­species on the small is­lands are often larger in mass, length of head, and length of body. The sub­species on the main is­land have larger ears, hind feet length and skull size com­pared to those on the is­lands. It has been sug­gested that this vari­a­tion is not due to in­su­lar vari­a­tion, but that the is­land forms are ac­tu­ally closer to the an­ces­tral form and the main is­land sub­species has evolved and adapted to a chang­ing en­vi­ron­ment. Lepus brachyu­rus has been di­vided into two clades and four sub­species. The two clades are found in south­ern and north­ern Japan and ap­pear to be the re­sult of these groups evolv­ing dif­fer­ently in these dif­fer­ent re­gions ap­prox­i­mately 1.24 mil­lion years ago. and the TOHOKU NO-USAGI, Lepus brachyurus angustidens, which is quite similar in habit and appearance, except for one astounding characteristic: these hares turn pure white in winter! Another reason why the ancients might have considered them as sacred creatures. The KYUSHU type live mainly on the eastern side of the mountains which run down the center of Japan. The TOHOKU type live on the western, snowier side. Habitat Japan­ese hares can be found through­out Japan in urban, rural and for­est set­tings, but the vast ma­jor­ity are found in rural areas. They are typ­i­cally found in areas with dense shrub-like veg­e­ta­tion and a low tree canopy, often near the edge of forests. Japan­ese hares are pre­dom­i­nant in young, Japan­ese cedar plan­ta­tions where there is plenty of in­com­ing light and an abun­dance of veg­e­ta­tion. Japan­ese hares are also found near and around rivers or streams. They range from sea level to 2700 m. Japan­ese hares do not in­habit moun­tain­ous areas.  It is mostly found in mountains or hilly areas. It also inhabits forests or brushy areas.  Due to human encroachment, though, this hare has thrived in and around urban environments, so much so that it has become a nuisance in some places. Reproduction The litter size of the Japanese hare varies from 1 to 6. The age of maturity is uncertain, but females probably breed within a year of birth. Breeding continues year round. Several litters are born each year, each of which contain 2–4 individuals. Mating is promiscuous; males chase females, and box to repel rivals. Behavior The Japanese hare, like most hares and rabbits, is crepuscular (feeds mainly in the evening and early morning). It is silent except when it is in distress, and gives out a call for the distress. It can occupy burrows sometimes. Japan­ese hares are soli­tary and noc­tur­nal. When they are ac­tive at night, they can travel about 1000 m in a sin­gle night in forested areas and can cover ap­prox­i­mately 6 hectares.  While noth­ing is known about com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween Japan­ese hares, in­for­ma­tion may be in­ferred from other hare species. There ap­pears to be var­i­ous types of vo­cal­iza­tions, mostly high-pitched, that occur when hares are con­fronted with un­com­fort­able or fright­en­ing sit­u­a­tions. Like other hares, hear­ing is an im­por­tant mode of per­cep­tion. It is a solitary animal except during mating season, when males and females gather for breeding.  Not much is known about Japan­ese hare mat­ing sys­tems.  There is, how­ever, gen­er­al­iz­able in­for­ma­tion re­gard­ing other species of hares. Aside from arc­tic hares, which pair each breed­ing sea­son, most male and fe­male hares are promis­cu­ous. Male and fe­male hares come to­gether dur­ing the breed­ing sea­son and males some­times dis­play ag­gres­sive be­hav­ior, such as box­ing, in order to com­pete for mates.  Japan­ese hares have a long breed­ing sea­son, be­gin­ning in early Jan­u­ary and end­ing in Au­gust. The num­ber of lit­ters per sea­son ranges from 4 to 5. The av­er­age lit­ter size ranges from one to four, with 1.6 ba­bies being the av­er­age and the av­er­age weight of the young at birth is 132 g. There is a 1:1 ratio of males to fe­males born in each lit­ter. Within one breed­ing sea­son, a typ­i­cal fe­male will av­er­age 7.4 young. The wean­ing pe­riod typ­i­cally takes place 2 to 3 weeks after birth. Fe­male hares be­come sex­u­ally ma­ture at ten months old. The ges­ta­tion pe­riod ranges from 43 to 45 days and the pe­riod be­tween births ranges from 33 to 109 days. An in­ter­birth pe­riod shorter than the ges­ta­tion pe­riod sug­gests the pos­si­bil­ity of su­per­foeta­tion. This is fur­ther sup­ported by the oc­cur­rence of post­coital ovu­la­tion in Japan­ese hares. At the other end of the spec­trum, there can also be de­lays be­tween birth and the next cop­u­la­tion. Some­times fe­male Japan­ese hares will chase away males with whom they do not want to cop­u­late. There is some vari­abil­ity in breed­ing pat­terns be­tween north­ern and south­ern Japan­ese hares as breed­ing ap­pears to be af­fected by tem­per­a­ture, pho­tope­riod, and pre­cip­i­ta­tion. En­vi­ron­ments in higher lat­i­tudes have de­creased tem­per­a­ture and pho­tope­ri­ods through­out the ma­jor­ity of the year and stud­ies of cap­tive an­i­mals have found that with in­creas­ing lat­i­tude, the breed­ing sea­son, ges­ta­tion pe­riod and lit­ter size de­creases. Food Japan­ese hares are op­por­tunis­tic her­bi­vores that typ­i­cally eat newly planted grasses, grasses at plan­ta­tions, and young trees and shrubs. Saito and Koike de­ter­mined that their main source of food dur­ing the sum­mer comes from the Fam­ily Gramineae, which in­cludes the grasses and many com­mer­cial crops. In north­ern Japan, when these grasses are un­avail­able due to win­ter snow cover, Japan­ese hares eat the buds and seedlings of young trees, often found in plan­ta­tions.  Vegetation found in and around its habitat is where the Japanese hare gets most of its nutrients. Grasses, shrubs, and bushes are all eaten by the hare. The Japanese hare is one of the few hares that will eat the bark off of trees and it does so occasionally which can cause major damage to trees and forests.   Tori and Suzuki ex­am­ined which trees were fa­vored in the win­ter and con­cluded that the vast ma­jor­ity of trees were Phyl­lostachys prae­cox, a bam­boo which is high in crude pro­tein con­tent.  Other pop­u­lar win­ter trees in­clude Acer, Paulow­nia, Acan­thopanax, Ar­alia and Legu­mi­nosae. The trees and shrubs cho­sen by Japan­ese hares often have in­creased amounts of branches and stems, which are typ­i­cally found in young forests. Most of the trees that are con­sumed have high pro­tein con­tent.   Japan­ese hares also en­gage in co­prophagy, or the reinges­tion of feces. While co­prophagy is com­mon in most hares, what is unique in L. brachyu­rus is that it reingests both soft and hard feces, as they are ob­served sim­ply swal­low­ing soft feces and chew­ing hard feces. Co­prophagy is done to ex­tract as many nu­tri­ents as pos­si­ble from their dif­fi­cult to di­gest plant food. There is also a pos­i­tive re­la­tion­ship with the lack of avail­able food and an in­creased oc­cur­rence of con­sum­ing hard feces. Japan­ese hares are read­ily preyed on by red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), golden ea­gles (Aquila chrysae­tos) and Japan­ese martens (Martes melam­pus). The color change in the north­ern sub­species of Japan­ese hares, from brown to white in the win­ter, is likely a cryp­tic color change to blend into their sur­round­ing en­vi­ron­ment and avoid pre­da­tion. Due to the large pop­u­la­tion sizes of Japan­ese hares, they are ex­tremely im­por­tant in the food web. They are prey for larger mam­mals and they im­pact the veg­e­ta­tion on which they feed. They can cause dam­age to woody trees and plants when they are for­ag­ing for buds in the win­ter The Japanese hare population seems to be stable; in some places, it has become a nuisance animal. It is hunted in certain regions for food, fur, pelts, and to help curb its growing numbers.  It is estimated that Japan­ese hares do not live longer than 4 years in the wild. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_hare http://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Lepus_brachyurus/ http://blog.alientimes.org/2011/01/for-the-year-of-the-rabbit-some-musings-on-rabbits-and-hares-in-japanese-culture-and-history/ Plant of the Week: Fox Glove Word of the Week: Sandwich
