Dan's Rollin Up: Luxury Cannabis Rolls, Hash Hole Artistry & Japanese CraftsmanshipThe term “professional roller” is thrown around a lot these days by people in the industry, but today's guest is almost the textbook definition.Blackleaf is blessed in the studio by the presence of the man with the magic fingers, Dan aka @dansrollinup, to discuss the evolution of his connoisseur curation brand that brings together the utmost premium A-1 flower with the dabber's dream headstash of rosin, along with how important maintaining quality control is, some of the incredible cultivators and hashmakers Dan is fortunate to work with, what it's like visiting Japan on a regular basis, and some of the best places to grub down around LA.Dan goes in deep on his storied career with the plant and all the different hats he's worn that have brought him here today, as he will say, to his third iteration of branding himself. Now 37, Dan talks about his decades of experience cultivating, extracting, moving packs, and eventually discovering his gift for rolling the most beautiful donuts you've ever seen in your life. Branding is a big conversation on this pod, as Blackleaf probes Dan about how he was able to land on his designs and elevate every detail of his packaging and unboxing experience, and what even goes into that. You'll hear Dan talk about his love for his dog and iconic animes like Dragonball Z and emphasizing that you should create something based off the things you truly love (without biting too much on anyone's IP.) You'll hear Dan claim authenticity in your brand as a reflection of yourself in so many words, always keeping your passion and head in the right place to build something meaningful and lasting.If you're curious at all about how to take your rolling game to the next level, this is definitely a pod you can't miss. @Dansrollinup weighs in on how he believes you achieve the next step in taking your roll game professional, as well as maintaining quality control as business expands, and the organic method in which he sources all of the flower and rosin for his artisanal rolls.As a bonus, if you're ever visiting Toyko or Los Angeles, Dan riffs off tons of incredible places to grab a bite to eat ranging from Nobu in Japan to the bomb noodle spot at the airport, as well as the ACTUAL best sushi spots around Los Angeles.

"I think making two Olympics was easier than trying to figure out what I want to do now." Jourdan Delacruz has been competing as a weightlifter for ten years, from training as a highschooler at the US Olympic Training Center, to multiple international competitions, to both the Toyko and Paris Olympics. Meanwhile, she completed her degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, on her way to becoming a registered dietitian with the hopes of working with athletes like herself.  We caught up with Jourdan at the end of 2024, as an Olympic year winds down and she reflects on everything she's accomplished to date. She's in a time of transition, without clear next steps, but excited about a variety of possibilities. We loved hearing more about her training, competitions, Olympic experiences, and how she's already supporting athletes with nutrition resources via HerAthlete.  Follow Jourdan @herathlete on Instagram.  Lane 9 is working to improve the menstrual health of female-bodied athletes at all levels of sport and through various seasons of life.

As opposed to removal work like throwing out trash, cutting bamboo, and organizing storage, my brother and I have finally completed our first tangible contribution to the property: a French drain. Below, I've listed the Japanese “netron” pipe product we used for the drain, which is quite unique from the typical perforated pipe you'd find in the United States. Unfortunately, I haven't found a supplier of netron pipes for you in the US.The other major task that we completed this month was the removal of an estimated 400 small bales of straw from the attic. With one bale averaging 10 pounds, we removed roughly 2 tons of straw! Bale by bale, we piled them up in the backyard. We wore long sleeves to keep our skin relatively clean, plus we wore heavy-duty respirators. The back-breaking work in the humid attic forced me to enter a mental state of detachment, repeating in my head, “Just one at a time. Just one at a time.” I'm glad it's over.As someone with a soft spot for traditional architecture, I've been flirting with the idea of re-thatching the old roof. I hesitated to expose the straw to the elements in the backyard because that amount of straw would be enough to thatch most, if not all, of the roof. However, the current priority for me is to reduce the weight of the building in preparation for the foundation retrofit. As a consolation, I have contacted kusa-kanmuri, an incredible thatch roof company in Kobe, to try to donate the straw. I hope it can go to good use.Having spent over a week in the attic, I have become more familiar with the construction of traditional Japanese roof framing. This makes today's book all the more timely. The Art Of Japanese Joinery by Kiyoshi Seike has helped me to examine the various wooden joints around the house with a more trained eye. While it is not a strict how-to manual, the book's photographs and diagrams helped move me from a pure novice of Japanese joinery to an educated amateur. While I can rely on my brother (a trained carpenter) for detailed woodwork, I will certainly reference Seike's book for guidance when we start restoring the wood framing.Kiyoshi Seike was one of the most influential architects of Japan's post-war era. His long list of architectural works includes residential homes, university buildings, and structures for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. The house he built for himself in Toyko, simply titled “My House” (watashi no ie), is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. In fact, you can schedule a visit using this Japanese website if you are interested.In today's episode, we take a deep dive into the history of Japanese joinery from Seike's point of view. We learn about the origins of kiwari, Japan's human-centered measuring and proportioning system. We learn about how to best implement joinery (namely that you ought to reinforce wooden joints with adhesives, nails, or metal braces). We also get a taste of Seike's comprehensive and technical list of types of tsugite joints and shiguchi joints. Please enjoy.Local Japan Podcast is a reader-supported publication.

The Future of War Crimes Justice (Melville House, 2024), journalist and war correspondent Chris Stephen takes a colourful look at the erratic history of war crimes justice, and the pioneers who created it. He examines its shortcomings, and options for making it more effective, including the case for prosecuting the corporations and banks who fund warlords. Casting the net wider, he examines alternatives to war crimes trials, and looks into the minds of war criminals themselves through an evaluation of evidence from psychiatric studies. With international law advocates fighting for justice on one side, and reluctant governments unwilling to relinquish control on the other, he sets out to answer whether the world of the future will be governed by the rule of law or might is right. The podcast begins by exploring what is meant by ‘justice' in the context of war crimes – whether it is (or should be) a process and collection of rights-respecting investigations and trials, or an outcome (the prosecution, conviction and sentencing of people who have committed the worst crimes) – and then discusses the challenges at the heart of the system of international war crimes justice as it has developed from the post-World War II trials of Nuremberg and Toyko. Chris Stephen discusses the impossibility of bringing leaders of major powers to justice, such as Russia's Vladimir Putin, under the current system of war crimes justice, acknowledging the role that realpolitik and national state interest plays in preventing greater engagement with the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

We're back with a chat about Sam's 2023 summer trip to Japan. 0:34 Overview: 14 days, spent as follows: 5 nights in Kyoto at Mimaru Apartment hotel. 430 square foot. Not spacious but good for a family of 4. 2 nights in Hiroshima at the Hilton Hiroshima: One bedroom suite booked with points (90k per night). Very new hotel, opened in 2022. 5 Nights Ishigaki island near Yonehara beach. Car rental 2 nights in Tokyo at another Mimaru in their pokemon room Robert's previous trip report (required listening) 04:37 Travel: JL from LAX nonstop to Kyoto Pickup from the airport (Booked on Klook.com) worked really well Used the "Visit Japan Web" site to generate QR codes before landing. Be sure to make a QR code for each person (for immigration) and one per family for customs. 08:09 Kyoto: Transit was difficult Not easy for us. Lack of numbers and signage really chewed us up. BUSY stations with people who definitely knew what they were doing. Helpful staff–but still difficult to execute train to train transfers Local vs. Express was not well signed. Got easier when we limited ourselves to busses + a single train. Busses in general were easier and better in Kyoto (can see the city as they Drive). Would take a cab directly to the bus stop. 15:51 Universal Studios: Brutal to get to. Issues with kids and trains. But once there, small size and express pass made the day a complete success. Conflicting information about swapping rides–but we were able to swap for different rides than those listed on our express passes (but not different times) Lines are crazy long, express pass is a must. We bought a 4 ride pass due to height restrictions limiting possible rides, but 7 ride passes were not much more. The Mario Water party parade was fantastic and over the top. Japanese to the max and loved by my kids. Super Mario World is incredible. The kids had a blast, we spent about 6 hours at the park, just enough time in my opinion. Getting home to Kyoto was equally brutal. The train line leaving Universal encountered a full stop due to a train on the loop hitting a passenger. 30:10 Cabs: We took so Many and They Saved Us Combination of lots of walking and young kids meant we needed to use cabs. We were 'close' to multiple train stations and bus stops. But the walking before, during and after sightseeing meant cabs were the way we extended days. Uber app worked well in Kyoto/Hiroshima to call cabs. In Tokyo we had to be careful--there was a 300-500 yen pickup fee plus the meter -- lots of times the uber black fare was less. Uber black cars are the nicest possible car I've ever been in. Loved these in Tokyo. 38:40 Kyoto to Hiroshima with Luggage: Train travel Gion Matsuri in Kyoto made the train station packed. Train runs nearly every 20 minutes. Amazing. Kiosk did not work with CC and I couldn't get 3 seats together (with luggage access). Pivoted to a desk agent who quickly got us on the next train and split us up. With large size suitcases it is recommended to book a luggage seat. Non-reserved seating is apparently not possible and if you do book non-reserved there's a 1000 yen fee if your bag is big Meant we were split up, but only for part of the ride. Fast train ride and cell coverage even in tunnerls, but wifi was terrible and completely unusable 45:52 Hiroshima: Not enough time, kids are to young JR Trains to Miyajima vs high speed ferrey, by taking the ferry from Hiroshima Port we saved significant time. Miyajima was loved by the kids for the deer and by us for the hiking and national park. Time is for sale in Japan. This is a great example Peace park was a highlight of the trip as well. Kids were too young for the museum, we had to skip it Data only SIM saved the day Got two of these from Airalo. Esim, and phones supporting dual eSIM make this a quick way to get online in foreign countries. 5GB, $11. Really was wonderful to be connected everywhere, saved the day many times. Wifi is good but not enough places had it. Ishigaki especially. Hilton Hiroshima: Very nice Hotel. Brand new, opened in 2022 (was previously a police station) Lobby: Booked a 1 Bedroom Suite for 90,000 points per night. Had called and emailed prior to arrival but no additional upgrade was offered due to space issues. Hotel was indeed 100% full our second night, with monday being Marine Day in Japan. View from the Living room to the bedroom: Hotel says it is full most weekends with Japanese who come to the city. Full breakfast in either the restaurant or the lounge. Very good, full buffet but lines for things started backing up if you arrived late. Really puts US Hilton properties to shame. Wish I stayed one more night. 52:43 Highlights from Ishigaki island Getting to HIJ airport: Airport Limousine Bus worked out very well. Car Rental: Just worked! The island has a busy southern side, quiet Northern shore and is ringed by reefs All the comforts of mainland Japan are on this island. It really is amazing how the grocery store stocks everything at nearly identical prices to the stores in Kyoto/Tokyo. The beef raised on the island is fantastic. So good we went twice to a local Yakiniku. Beaches were very good--with no waves anywhere on the island the kids were able to swim out very far and I felt they were safe the entire time. Activities we did: lots of snorkeling, glass bottom boat tour of the bay, Traditional Okinawan village, Hike to and swam in a waterfall, Stargazing. Really relaxing island. Wish it was closer. Can't replace Hawaii but nice that it is less than 3hrs from Tokyo. Food on the island was varied enough and easy to get to. Times listed when places were open were often completely wrong, but we stumbled on two great restaurants when the places were wanted to go to were closed. Farmer's market on Ishigaki stocks most tropical fruit but pricing was high still. The availability is the draw here, but spoiled with CA/Hawaii style fruit and farmer's markets. 1:06:06 Flight to Toyko Mind-blowing that you can wake up, have a few hours on the beach in Ishigaki and then hop a flight to Toyko and be eating an early dinner there. ANA domestic 787, very full. Short flight time, domestic travel in Japan is interesting, no liquid restrictions, no ID checks, free checked bags. Like flying in the 90's here. From the airport we did the monorail to a single JR train. Worked really well. Plenty of space for luggage on the monorail. 1:17:33 Tokyo Highlights City still seems to wake up late. Breakfast at 7am was a little tough to find, found a great little cafe in Asakusa that opened at 6:30. Lots of shopping. Loved the multi-story department store/malls. Ueno streets had so many great food options, but the area is loud and has smoke/adult themes to be aware of. Shibuya was even busier than Ueno, but with more polish. Checked out Ginza, really amazing how close it is to both of the other districts and just how really sharp looking the streets are there. Ueno Zoo was perfect for my kids 4/8. Animals seem to be out in the mornings, so go early. Line to see the baby pandas was too long for us, so we skipped them and saw their parents instead (no line). Started getting homesick a little. Travel with kids: how we made it work. Cabs (Uber worked, didi is another) Naps Sugar (Ice cream really, at convenience stores) Food was well received by my kids but options for all kids might be harder 1:24:39 Is a Return Trip in the Cards? Overall thoughts? Yes, but maybe not our next trip Long 14 day trip let us see a lot, but still left a LOT unseen. Would like to wait for my kids to be a bit older to be able to do more

The Universal Uniformity of Urban Mobility

Hello Interactors,I've been delayed getting this one out after being hit with a stomach bug. But I'm back in business and back to looking at urban behavior. This time, I dig into a power law that proves a Geographer right (again) while making the dizzying array of diversity in human urban mobility look shockingly similar.As interactors, you're special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You're also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let's go…A THEORY CENTRALLY PLACEDA few days after meeting with a group concerned with rapid urban development, I found myself in another meeting, in the same room, with a group who thinks it's not rapid enough! Meanwhile, Washington state legislators are proposing and passing legislation aimed at addressing the impacts of increased population growth, housing shortages, and transportation.We were meeting to discuss what kind of housing density and transportation infrastructure is necessary to get people walking, biking, or rolling within 10-15 minutes of their nearest store or transit stop. As I wrote last month, getting people to drop their car is easier said than done. For starters, people need jobs and businesses to walk to in the first place. However, businesses only thrive when there are enough customers to keep them alive. More potential customers walking, biking, or rolling only comes when there is more dense housing.Like that found in downtown Paris. Over the last three years Mayor Anne Hidalgo has been made famous championing the 15-minute city concept. She's restricted car use to certain areas and has built hundreds of miles of bike lanes. Her efforts made the Paris core so desirable property value increases started to squeeze poorer people out of the area. In response she built affordable housing. However, just outside this urban core Paris continues to remain car dependent. The same can be said for Olso. In fact, despite 75% of Europeans living in dense cities, while also declining in population, their major cities continue to sprawl.There are many variations of land use and transportation configurations around the world, but they all emerge toward, or are influenced by, by central place theory. This concept was developed in 1933 by the German geographer, Walter Christaller and became influential in how cities were planned around economic activities. To illustrate the concept, he drew an array of hexagons each with their own center around a center hexagon representing a core city center. Imagine a hexagonal flower. He used this diagram to then describe these three principals governing behavior within and between geographic regions:Consumer choice. Each of us have a choice to make around much time and money we're willing to spend to arrive at a particular destination. Like any forager, we can choose the cheapest path at a risk of reducing our choices of goods or we can invest in a longer journey in exchange for more or better choices.  Firm agglomeration. A company offering goods to these consumers must decide whether to operate further away from their competition or cluster nearby. They'd be sharing more customers while also saving in delivery costs other economies of scale.Functional hierarchy. As with natural systems, complex hierarchies emerge from these actions that are self supporting and become embedded in the environment. When governmental and commercial power is concentrated, functional hierarchies are strong. When power is diffuse and distributed individual agency weakens the hierarchy.Christaller theorized that if a person within a hexagonal cell sought a good or service, they would first seek one within their boundaries if available. He added that if this cell happened to be the center cell, home to the densest population and services, the resident would rarely leave their own cell for routine activities. We'll call ‘shopping within my own cell' level-one.If the service is not available within their hexagonal cell, they'd decide to go to next nearest cell with the available service. Let's call that level-two. Those in level two most likely would go to the center cell, the city center, given it has the most consumer choice due to agglomeration. It is also relatively nearby.Those living in level-three hexagons likely travel to the center cell for some activities and the level-two cells for others. Should they choose level-two instead of the center, more than one level-two cell may contain the same service within the same or similar distance. It's assumed some of the people will choose one location some of the time and others the other location another time.This model fits with my experience recently when our roof started leaking amidst a torrential downpour. Living in a tier-two area, I had two Home Depot stores equidistant from my home from which to purchase a pump. Each within their own tier-two areas featuring agglomerated retail.I needed to quickly siphon swelling standing water from our flat roof that has recently acted more like a tub. The website said the one to the north had three pumps in stock, so off I went. Nope, there was no product to be found. So off to the one toward the south. They had one, though the website said they had none. My cost of travel more than doubled, but at least my drip stopped!It was the ‘functional hierarchy' of city planners, developers, and politicians that used central place theory to place these agglomerations of stores where they are. It's the same theory used to decide where hospitals, fire stations, and Starbucks should go.A LAW CENTRAL TO THE THEORY For decades geographers and city planners have primarily used one of two laws to determine these locations and the movement of people between regional levels. One is called the gravity law and the other the radiation model. Both methods have a fundamental flaw in that they only consider aggregations of residents moving across the region. This doesn't afford the ability to look at the frequency of individual trips to a given location. There are other models that look at fine grained behavior, but they lack the ability to then consider the patterns of the larger population.But in 2021, a group of spatial, urban, and complexity scientists landed on a preferred method. What they discovered is central place theory is more than a theory. Using anonymized cell tower time stamp data from cell phones, they were able to determine individual origins and destinations across a large region and population. They divided the study area into a grid and counted how many times people entered a given cell. This provided them with frequency of trips to and from various destinations – the granular data amidst an aggregate that has thus far been missing.  They found, with astonishing regularity, what Christaller assumed. Both frequency and distance to a destination are the sole determining factors in predicting behavior. For example, people travel a museum or mall less frequently and may travel a great distance to get there. Their data shows that not only are these special function locations visited less frequently, they address a larger radius of travel distances. The travel distance per visit is thus inversely proportional to the visitation frequency.The opposite is also true. Trips to more common destinations, like a grocery store or restaurant, are not only visited more frequently, but they are visited in higher numbers by those living nearby. Their data also supports Christaller's notion of functional hierarchy. Travel between the various levels of hierarchy is supported by both consumer choice and the agglomeration of services. It also out performed both the gravity law and radiation model.What is most miraculous is these findings are consistent regardless of the city scale or location. Singapore, Boston, Dakar, Lisbon, Toyko, New York, you name it, they all exhibit these universal visitation power laws. The results were so surprising it prompted the authors to state,“Given the extensive literature on and detailed analyses of movement and transport in cities, it is surprising that the simple but powerful visitation law derived here had not yet been discovered.”It should be noted, however, not everyone can afford a cell phone. So, this data, and the power law, reflect the strong functional hierarchy embedded in our cities. That is, our cities have been planned and built by powerful functional social hierarchies that encourage clustering of businesses to efficiently allow for consumer choice for those with greater means. I wonder what patterns emerge for those without cell phones and less served by nearby services. It would sure raise questions of equity.I'm also curious how this breaks down by mode of transportation. That is, how many trips were by car or transit and how many were by walking or biking. Their results are robust scaling from grid cell sizes 250m to 2km. Though they admit the model wouldn't perform at smaller levels. Two-hundred and fifty meters is about three city blocks. That's less than a 10- or 15-minute walk. The frequency law they uncovered would suggest if sufficient and attractive services were agglomerated within a short walk people would choose them for many trips over a further distance. But as Central Place Theory states, this requires sufficient agglomeration and density. The data reveals that sprawling Greater Boston has a wide distribution of distance covered to destinations relative to number of visitors compared to dense Singapore where the distance covered is more concentrated. If the data included elevation, it would reveal more Singaporeans also travel more up and down high rises for daily activities than those in Greater Boston! A vertical 10-minute neighborhood.For a walkable 10-15 minute city or neighborhood to exist will likely require all three elements highlighted by central place theory. For walking to be a consumer choice, agglomeration is needed. The cluster of businesses can only be justified when there is a sufficient number of consumers. The only way consumer density can occur is if it is zoned and built into the fabric of the region's functional hierarchy. Just this week the state of Washington passed a bill legalizing duplexes or fourplexes in areas historically zoned for single-family homes only. Should it become law, will it provide sufficient density to spawn a corner grocer, a neighborhood bakery, or hardware store? Or will the price of eggs, muffins, and lightbulbs keep people driving to Costco? Lawmakers may hold the power to pass the laws, to strengthen the functional hierarchy which includes zoning for more density. We control our own consumer choice. But it will all come down to developers building density and firms agglomerating. Meanwhile, one law has been passed — the universal visitation power law of human mobility. This is a public episode.

In this episode you'll be treated to an outstanding overview of a category that is both familiar and exotic, Sake. The most Japanese of all drinks has hit the headlines around the world as growing exports but falling consumption at home have caused issues for brewers and the taxman alike. Luckily Kyoko Nagano  of Sake Lovers Inc. was available to help guide Will through the very basics of how Sake is made, what makes it unique, how the traditional brewers are being challenged by changing tastes and demographics but also the new opportunities that are being developed for this most ancient of drinks.For the Desert Island Drink, John Kelly returns to the pod yet again, giving us a short and sweet view of his go to drink if he was all alone and in need of some comfort.We also discuss Foxy's first impressions of Kazakhstan (really), his (hazy) memories of drinking Sake in Toyko and Will's coffee confusion.Support the showFor more high-lights and low-downs follow @BizBevPod on Twitter or LinkedInBusiness of Beverages is self-funded and hosted/ edited/produced by Will Keating.Pádraig Fox co-hosts in a strictly personal capacity.All opinions are those of the person expressing them at all times.

On June 1, 2020, I had the rare opportunity to sit down and interview a WWII veteran--this was my second interview with a Greatest Generation veteran. Mr. Lee Graham was in the US Army as a Technician and discharged as a corporal (Technician 5th Grade). Mr. Graham was assigned to the infamous Sugamo Prison in Toyko, Japan which contained some of the worst war criminals of WWII such as Prime Minister Hideki Tojo who ordered the Batann Death March. The "Toyko Rose" Iva Toguri was also imprisoned in Sugamo when Mr. Graham was assigned there. The day after Mr. Graham graduated from high school in Oklahoma, he was in the US Army. Like most people who served in WWII, Mr. Graham humbly summarized that he just did what was needed for his country. He returned after 1.5 years of service to enter the natural gas industry in Oklahoma and raised a wonderful family...this is his story. To all those who served in WWII and beyond, thank you.
