Eric Jones is finally to be unmasked as the ‘king of calm’ in Hut 3 who channelled the work of the wartime codebreakers

Vanessa Thorpe

No contemporary war reports from the German front mention the name of Eric Jones. And there is not much information about him online – in fact there is more about a Welsh climber of the same name. But the Eric Jones who worked in secret at Bletchley Park in the 1940s is soon to be declared a figure of equal importance to Alan Turing.

Recently declassified documents show that Jones, the son of a Macclesfield textile manufacturer, was the man responsible for interpreting and prioritising all the covert intelligence that came into Britain from Nazi-occupied Europe and from spies working near the frontline.

They also show that his decision to force Britain’s rival military forces to work together may well have won the war and it certainly laid the groundwork for success on D-day. And what is more, Jones later went on to become the first head of the government’s listening station at Cheltenham, GCHQ.

According to David Kenyon, research historian at Bletchley Park, Jones can now at last be unmasked as “the spider in the centre of the information web”.

“It has become apparent from my research that Jones’s skill at putting together all the information coming in was crucial,” Kenyon told the Observer this weekend, ahead of the opening this week of a D-day exhibition at Bletchley Park. The exhibition will highlight for the first time a man known to his admiring circle of secret operatives as the “king of calm”.

“We can also now show that Bletchley was not working in monastic isolation, concentrating only on numbers and breaking codes,” said Kenyon. “It had to feed the right information out to politicians and to commanders in the field.”

The new immersive exhibition, D-day: Interception, Intelligence, Invasion, which opens on Thursday at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, will use film and memorabilia to focus on the meticulous preparations for the D-day landings. It will also, Kenyon said, shed fresh light on a time when, without Jones’s vital interpretation and cataloguing system, the vast amounts of intercepted and decoded enemy intelligence available once Turing and his team had cracked the German Enigma code would still have counted for nothing.

“What we have uncovered is a story of collaboration, and this is the first time it has been told anywhere,” said Peronel Craddock, head of collections and exhibitions at the wartime heritage attraction. “We really can say that Jones, by leading his team inside Hut 3, was at least equally important to Turing in this part of the story. And there we are talking about someone recently declared by the BBC as Britain’s leading icon.”

D-day documents that have now been examined for the first time in 75 years show the extraordinarily detailed briefings the invading forces had been given, not only about the level of resistance they were likely to meet, but also about the location of land mines and the height of fences.

As an example of the way information was brought together in Hut 3, Kenyon picks out news that came through, in spring 1944, that a German SS unit had been moved into Belgium. This was cross-checked against reports coming in from the ground of sightings of SS officers in a Belgian town and the evidence of covert aerial photography.

“When the story about Bletchley first broke in the 1970s, much of the detail stayed in the background,” said Kenyon. “What we can now see is the level of efficiency Hut 3 developed. It had to handle a huge organisational problem once there were thousands of messages coming in.

“After all, there is no point just breaking codes; you have to store them and then find them when you need them. On their own, the Enigma messages were just meaningless 250-word bulletins.”

Jones, who attended King’s School in Macclesfield, is thought to have learned how to handle people well during time he spent working at his father’s silk factory in Manchester, before he joined the RAF reserves and was seconded to the intelligence branch of the Air Ministry.

“He was not from a mathematical or cryptographic background,” said Kenyon, whose book, Bletchley Park and D-Day, out next month, is the first book on the subject since 1979. “It was his quick thinking and people skills that were really important.”

Jones was first sent to Bletchley Park in early 1942 at the age of 35 because it was in crisis. Rivalries between the allied forces’ espionage divisions were threatening the whole intelligence effort.

“Jones was sent in to investigate and wrote a report recognising there needed to be a multi-services approach. It is a report that won the war in many ways,” said Kenyon. “They asked him to stay on to implement his findings and then from around October and November they started to gear up for an invasion at some point.”

Further evidence of Jones’s talents came on the eve of D-day. Aware that many of his staff felt guilty about their lives not being at risk because they were so far from the action, he wrote a memo to all of them underlining how important their jobs were in saving lives. And the streamlined system he set up allowed the team at Bletchley to decrypt intelligence and share it with frontline commanders in Normandy within three hours.

Staff at Bletchley were referred to as “boffins and debs”. but in fact were drawn from across the population. They Included:

Bill Tutte A gifted mathematician from Newmarket, Suffolk, he deciphered the Nazis’ Lorenz code.

Jane Fawcett A debutante who later became an opera singer, she worked long hours in Hut 6, a women-only decoding room. In May 1941, she decoded a message about the German battleship Bismarck that led to its sinking.

Dillwyn “Dilly” Knox A Cambridge University papyrologist turned master codebreaker originally from Oxford, he worked on ancient Greek papyruses before the war and at Bletchley worked on the Enigma code until his death in 1943 at 58.

Lamongan teacher named suspect in sexual abuse case involving 30 students

News Desk
Jakarta   ●   Fri, July 5, 2019 2019-07-05 18:26 671 db1d47cf6ffbed4060cffaa873ff35a6 4 National child-abuse,lamongan,East-Java Free

An elementary school teacher in Lamongan, East Java, has been named a suspect in a child sexual abuse case that allegedly involved 30 students.

Lamongan Police Adj. Comr. Wahyu Norman Hidayat said the suspect, identified as SR, had allegedly been abusing his students since late last year.

“He first abused his students from October to December last year. Most of the victims didn’t dare tell their parents about what their teacher had done to them because he threatened to give them bad grades,” Wahyu said during a press conference on Thursday as quoted by

He went on to say that SR had allegedly abused his students in the classroom and the school library. He added that the suspect had also reportedly harassed his students at his house under the pretense of a private tutoring session.

“Based on witness statements and the evidence we’ve gathered, we officially established SR as a suspect in a child abuse case,” Wahyu said.

SR was charged under Article 82 of Law No. 35/2014 on child protection.

Local police previously arrested SR following accusations of abuse against two 11-year-old female students.

“Only two out of the possible 30 victims have come to the police. We’ve also spoken with several male students and they confirmed [the sexual abuse],” Wahyu said. (rfa)

LeBron James exits early with ankle soreness in Lakers’ loss

The Lakers began the final two weeks of the regular season in a fight they thought they had avoided, the prospect of a play-in tournament an increasingly frightening possibility. They had just suffered a shameful loss to the Sacramento Kings, who beat them without two of their best players and another scoring just two points.

The Lakers had just learned that yet another of their key players, Dennis Schroder, wouldn’t be available, forcing the Lakers to lock in a little more, to play a little sharper and a little harder Sunday night as they make a real push for the postseason.

A response was required. The one issued was a surprise.

Kyle Lowry, the guard they decided not to trade for, ran up the sideline letting out a Ric Flair “Woooo” after a bucket. The Raptors bench bounded with life and energy.

And the Lakers, well they were just kind of there, a passive participant in their own demise.

After leading by 12 early — maybe they were mad — the Lakers just looked bad, falling behind by as many as 21 and greeting the deficit mostly with a shrug.

That the score tightened at times was almost irrelevant. That the Lakers, a team that won a title on the backs of chemistry and effort, played for so long without either, is very much a problem.

The 121-114 loss Sunday, their sixth in their last seven games, dropped the Lakers into a three-way tie with Dallas and Portland. And LeBron James was forced back to the locker room in the fourth quarter, unable to return because of his sore right ankle.

Maybe the problems began in mid-November when the NBA decided this whole thing would begin in a month, with players like Anthony Davis dipping their toes back into action like it was an unheated pool.

Injuries to Davis and James made the equations even easier to solve — nothing would matter unless the two players could come back heathy.

Staying competitive without their stars would be mentally and physically taxing. And if that meant so-so basketball in the meantime, so be it.

But Sunday, the fruits of that were on full display.

The Lakers were as disjointed as ever, now playing without their point guard. Just last week, Schroder told German media members that he was unsure about taking a COVID vaccine. Sunday, he landed on the league’s health and safety protocols, meaning either he or a close contact had tested positive for the virus.

The Lakers and Frank Vogel declined to update Schroder’s status beyond his place in the protocols. If the test were a false positive or inconclusive, he could return after only a one-game absence. Otherwise, at a minimum, he’ll miss the bulk of the remaining regular season.

His absence certainly won’t help the Lakers solve their continuity issues. The team has yet to play a single game this season without its likely playoff rotation intact thanks to Alex Caruso missing Friday’s brutal loss to the Kings.

But it can’t be much of an excuse, not when you consider the Raptors were playing without Fred VanVleet.

In his absence, Lowry, whom the Lakers pursued but ultimately didn’t pull the trigger on at the trade deadline, was sensational. He scored 37 points to go with 11 assists, burying deep threes to extinguish any embers of a comeback.

Kyle Kuzma, for his part, scored 24 and hit a key jumper in the final minute to make things sort of interesting.

Highlights from the Lakers’ 121-114 loss to the Toronto Raptors at Staples Center on Sunday.

Complicating things, Davis is still inching his way back, scoring only 12 in 33 minutes. And even more problematic, James wasn’t there to save them, too hurt to continue in a game the Lakers were going to lose anyway.

It was another blow on a night where the Lakers didn’t look like they were up to fight back.

When: 7 p.m., Monday.

On the air: TV: Spectrum SportsNet, ESPN; Radio: 710, 1330.

Update: The Nuggets defeated the Clippers 110-104 on Friday for their fifth consecutive win. Denver now is half a game ahead of the Clippers for third place while the Lakers are in a three-way tie with Dallas and Portland in a race for the fifth through seventh seeds in the West.

We play Who’s Afraid of the Big Black Bear around the house at dusk, hide behind hedges and banana trees. I remember playing the same game thirty years ago on Manitoba farm yards, remember Lisa jumping out from behind old tractors, her older brothers roaring in the dark. P chases Phil around the trampoline but laughs so hard she falls to the ground, pees through her pants. I carry her to the bathtub where the water turns orange from the dirt on her feet.

J and P bike down the gravel road to recruit playmates while M organizes the playroom, writes nametags on small squares of paper, arranges baskets for seats behind the piano bench desk. She lays out markers, erasers, writes out the rules for using scissors and a strict discipline plan. When her sisters return without friends, M runs outside, bangs a stick against the shed wall, her sobs of disappointment floating to me through the kitchen window.

I hold a newborn baby, thick flannel wrapped over his jacket and pants despite the sweltering heat of the dry season. His name is Goodluck Nick, his mother is radiant, proud.

I walk to a roadside flower stand. Plastic buckets hold bunches of roses, calla lilies, flowers I have no name for. The metal frame built for shade has no canopy, so two men lounge nearby on the sloping ditch beneath a flame tree. One of the men jumps up to greet me, gathers red roses into a careful bouquet, chops at their stems with a machete he keeps soaked in water. Wooden birds painted yellow and blue hang from brown thread tied to thin branches. I buy one. It swings against my legs as I walk home on the dusty pavement, carrying roses like a bride.

The girls walk to school without bending their knees. J admits, “I wouldn’t be very good at not having knees.” Another thing we had forgotten to be grateful for.

Star Citizen Mission Report – 2016.09.06

Tonight I decided to try out some Arena Commander as I had heard it received some love with the 2.5 PTU release.  I was not misled.  There wasn’t much about Arena Commander patches/fixes/updates in the 2.5.0 patch notes so we’ll have to fly by the seat of our pants on this one.

DISCLAIMER:  I don’t keep up 100% on development nor do I claim to.  If there was a patch note that covers something I noticed tonight from pre-2.5.0 PTU, then I’m sorry and please let me know when/where it was actually patched and I’ll update accordingly.  Thanks.

First off, it runs much better.  This change is most likely due to some of the work the development team has been working on for the overall project.  Being that the same engine is used for Arena Commander as Crusader, I’m sure that this is the case.  I was able to up my graphics settings a bit without sacrificing smooth gameplay.

A few annoying bugs have been removed.  The worst of which was the glitch that caused defeated enemy ships to fly off on their last vector at high speeds still in an undestroyed state.  Previously, once a target reached a “destroyed” state, it would fly off into oblivion at a high rate of speed.  It was technically destroyed and would become destroyed eventually but a lot of players would chase after said targets, which would become frustrating.  Sometimes the ships speeding off would crash into an asteroid or out of bounds and the player that technically did the damage to get the kill would get no credit because the environment made the kill instead.  I’m glad that one is gone.

I still saw a few bugs with some ships and such, mostly issues related to the ship itself and not Arena Commander.

I also noticed in an earlier match tonight that the effect of the Rattler II cluster missile appears to have been changed.  I can’t be for certain yet, but it appears that the actual cluster are no longer target seeking and just dumb-fire missiles.  This may be good against larger and slower ships, but they are no longer ideal for targeting more agile ships, such as the Vanduul fighters in .  I’ll have to update my ’s loadout with a different missile solution.

I want to say that weapon overheating dynamics were adjusted a bit. I noticed much better performance and cooling rate on my weapon systems, specially on my .

Overall, not a bad experience.  As usually I use Arena Commander to get myself some actual combat flight hours in.  I use that time to test my loadouts (see the attached to this post above and you’ll see my that is absolutely devastating).  I’ll have to do some more honing in the coming weeks.  Feel free to join me anytime!

Mourning the Dear Leader

War and Peace

As much as we like to think we know about North Korea, major events such as the recent death of their “Dear LeaderKim Jong Il remind us just how little we actually know about the elusive country. Journalists, politicians, and researchers alike have been trying to make sense of the situation over the past few weeks. Many are proffering their own theories of what will become of the country as Kim Jong Un attempts to take power. Ideas range from a potential attack on the south, an opening up of the country, a military coup, or simply a continuation of the status quo. I have my own theories as well, but I will be the first to admit that theories are all they are. In situations such as this it is important to not get ahead of ourselves, and to shy away from pontificating about definite outcomes. There are so many details that remain unknown.

With that said, I will not use this post to offer my theories about the future of North Korea. What I will attempt to do is give a bit of insight for those unfamiliar with the region and the volatility of the situation.

One of the questions I continually get from those I speak with is whether the reactions of the North Korean citizens being shown on TV are real. Is it possible these people are truly upset over the loss of a leader the majority of the world views as vicious and teetering on mentally unstable? For those who have not seen the clips, here is one of the more popular videos of North Korean citizens mourning Kim Jong Il.

The answer to this question is yes ... and no.

While I do not have a definite answer as to why these particular people are wailing, I do have some suggestions of what you might take into consideration as you attempt to understand the citizens of North Korea.

First of all, there are those who have been well taken care of under the current regime. They have received aid, have good jobs, and live reasonably comfortable lives. In a country where it is feared many are dying of starvation, this group is incredibly lucky. They might believe they have reason to be thankful and appreciative to a leader who has allowed them to live so well.

Secondly, the citizens of North Korea are continually told Kim Jong Il is nothing less than the savior of their nation. There is a definite level of indoctrination at play here. It might be difficult to understand, but with little to no contact with the outside world it is feasible that there are those who truly believe he is a great leader. If they are among the elite who were taken care of under his regime, they have little reason to believe otherwise.

The third thing to take into consideration is the great consequence of not mourning in the most overt way. A few months back I wrote a piece titled, "North Korea's Not-So-Secret Prison Camps," wherein I discussed the existence of gulag-esque camps holding approximately 200,000 political prisoners. The crimes of these prisoners range from criticizing the leadership, to being in contact with South Koreans, to simply guilt by association. More often than not any sentencing to these camps becomes a death sentence. Thus, it is of utmost importance for citizens to prove their devotion by projecting great sadness over Kim Jong Il's death. Doing so is essential not only to their safety, but that of their family and friends.

This list is obviouly not exhaustive, but hopefully gives a glimpse into a few of the reasons for the outpouring of sadness from the North Korean people. To call North Korea a complicated situation is beyond an understatement. There is more to be said, and I plan to follow this situation as it evolves. I welcome any additions those of you with knowledge of the region and the people might have to contribute. Furthermore, feel free to post any other questions you would like to see me delve into in the coming weeks.

Quix 2.5.5 Is Here with Some Improved Feature & Bug Fixes

Hey there! Last time we released Quix 2.5.4 with our hype creator Agencio - the best agency template 2019. This time, we followed the same strategy. We are very proud to announce that, we have released Joomla page builder - Quix 2.5.5 with our brand new Startup template. We are expecting the same appreciation from you guys.

Quix 2.5.5 is released with some improved feature that was asked to improve from our beloved users. Our developer team really worked hard this time to make you smile in using updated Quix.

So stay tuned to get the update and now let me show you the improvements that we have brought for you with Joomla page builder - Quix 2.5.5.

Major Improved Feature

Section Copy-Paste to Anywhere

There was an option to copy and paste any section in our previous version of Quix. However, the problem was, you couldn't paste that wherever you want rather than it was pasted in the last section automatically.

This problem has now disappeared. Our updated Quix will allow you to copy any section you want and paste that section wherever you need it. You don't have to worry about this issue of copy-paste.

After finishing your design, if your user does not like it, you will be able to redecorate the design. You don't need to restart the design, but to reorganize the design. That means that our updated Quix will save your time while at the same time cutting off your redundant work.

Poor Clares’ national meeting comes to SC

ROCK HILL—Leaders of the Sisters of the Poor Clares in the United States met for a week of fellowship, prayer, education and planning at The Oratory May 9-15. It was the first time the annual meeting was held in South Carolina.

The event drew members from the two groups of Poor Clares in the United States: the Holy Name Federation and the Mother Bentivoglio Federation. Abbesses from the order’s monasteries and officers of the two councils attended.

Sister Elizabeth Mortell, OSC, of New Orleans, is president of the Mother Bentivoglio group and Sister Clare Frances McAvoy, OSC, leads the Holy Name Federation.

The Poor Clares are currently in the midst of a yearlong celebration of their 800th anniversary. St. Clare founded the Franciscan order in 1212, along with St. Francis of Assisi. About 17,000 Poor Clares live cloistered, contemplative lives in autonomous monasteries worldwide.

In South Carolina, 14 sisters live at a monastery in Travelers Rest, led by abbess Sister Mary Connor, OSC.

Sister Mary said the women religious spent several days taking part in a workshop led by Father Raymond P. Carey, from the Archdiocese of Portland.

They focused on developing their relationship with Christ, clarifying their values and mission as Poor Clares, and sharing that mission with their neighbors.

In Travelers Rest, for instance, people visit the monastery to pray and attend Mass with the sisters, and also submit prayer intentions through e-mail and the Internet.

“Poor Clares are different from other contemplatives, because we meet Christ in the people who come to us,” Sister Mary said. “We want to be welcoming communities that nourish them spiritually. That is part of who we are. We want to show them the beauty and sacredness of the life we live.”

Many of the sisters said they hope the meeting and ongoing celebration of the order’s anniversary will help people learn about Poor Clares and their mission of constant prayer for the church, the nation, its people and their intentions.

“I would want people to know that we pray for them constantly,” said Sister Elizabeth. “Our presence is important because we are always praying and we are there for the community.

“In the past, the emphasis for our order was more on being cloistered, but since Vatican II we have been able to go out more into the community, and people can come to us and pray with us, and for us,” she said. “Ours is a contemplative life lived for God, in a setting where God is the primacy of our life. We are contemplative within a certain place, and our life is consecrated because of God’s presence.”

Bishop Guglielmone to ordain 15 deacons on Feb. 11

GOOSE CREEK—After nearly a decade on hiatus, the diaconate program is enjoying a blessing of bountiful renewal.

Last year, 35 men were ordained into the permanent diaconate, and soon, another batch will enter the ministry. On Feb. 11, Bishop Robert E. Guglielmone will ordain 15 men to the permanent diaconate at Immaculate Conception Church, followed by a reception in their honor. About 40 deacons plan to attend the ordination, along with priests from the various parishes, plus friends and family members, said Cristene Diesso, administrative assistant with the Office of the Permanent Diaconate.

The candidates come to the vocation from a wide variety of professions including engineers, scientists, first responders and teachers.

Another 34 men are in formation, with ordinations scheduled for 2019 and 2021, said Deacon André Guillet, director of the Permanent Diaconate. They also have another four men who have applied and others who have expressed an interest in formation.

Deacon André explained that formerly, priests were in charge of teaching classes to the deacons, which was difficult to arrange because pastors’ workloads are so large. Now classes are taught by professors from St. Leo University.

Men who seek the ministry must complete four years of study and successfully balance jobs and family responsibilities. During the interview process, Deacon André said they also speak to the candidates’ wives and children to make sure everyone is on board.

“Deacons must be ready to serve the people of God, with humility, and using the word JOY in their ministry,” he advised. “J, Jesus is always first; O, Others are second; Y, Yourself Last. If you use that word, you’ll always be full of JOY.”

As part of their ministry, deacons bring the Word to the poor, the aged, the sick, and the imprisoned. They proclaim the Gospel and preach at liturgical celebrations, provide catechetical instruction, adult faith formation, and sacramental preparation. They assist priests during Mass, administer baptisms, witness marriages, preside at funerals and wakes, officiate at benedictions, and lead community prayer services.

A deacon is a visible sign of the Church’s call to “diakonia” — service. He is both servant and sacrament.

Among the required qualifications for applying, a man must be a practicing Catholic for five years or more, be between the ages of 30-55, and have received the sacraments of baptism, Eucharist and confirmation.

Deacon André said that new deacons are only assigned to parishes where the priest has requested and approved the applicant.

Here is a look at the 15 men who will be ordained on Feb. 11:

Russia Accuses Lithuania of 'Provocative' Act After Former Soviet Official Convicted

Dmitry Yazov Yuri Mashkov / TASS

Russia's Foreign Ministry on Thursday accused Lithuania of an unfriendly and provocative act, a day after a Lithuanian court found a former Soviet Defense Minister guilty of war crimes for his role in a 1991 crackdown in Lithuania.

A Vilnius court sentenced Dmitry Yazov, 94, in absentia to 10 years in prison. He was the highest-ranking person on a list of 67 former military officials and army officers being sentenced after the three-year trial.

"We characterize the given actions as extremely unfriendly and essentially provocative, demonstrating the bias and political motivation of this disgraceful judgment," Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

It accused the court of ignoring witness testimony and not allowing Russian diplomats to attend the trial.

"The attempts by the authorities to rig obvious facts using legal manipulations simply reflect the deconstructive course of the current Lithuanian leadership with regard to Russia," the Foreign Ministry said.

Lithuania became the first Soviet republic in March 1990 to declare independence from Moscow. The Soviet Union was formally dissolved in December 1991.

Fourteen civilians were killed by the Soviet army in January 1991, prosecutors say, all but one of them during the storming of the state television headquarters and TV tower by Soviet paratroopers. More than 700 others were wounded.

Russia refused to cooperate with the trial, calling it illegal and in violation of the fundamental principles of justice, and former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, 88, declined to testify.

Pets and the Fear of Fireworks

It is a well-known fact that dogs fear fireworks. The pets get stressed by the noise and by the illuminations, so here are few holiday tips on how to avoid such a stress.

fireworksFirst of all, don’t take your pets to such events. If the fireworks are going to be near your home, find a quiet place for your dog.

Secure the puppy with a place, where no one will be around and the noise is not going to be so loud. If you are leaving your pet alone on New Year, simply draw the curtains and turn on the radio.

Try to isolate the noise from the fireworks with some relaxing CD or leave your TV switched on.

Even if your dog is in the yard, the burst of the fireworks can seriously stress it. Therefore, don’t leave the dog outside. Distract it with ball plays or some physical activity.

If your dog has already heard the fireworks outside, cuddle it for a while, in order to make it feel that there is nothing scary.

pets and fireworks

If you are away for the holidays, always leave your dog with friends or neighbors but make sure they find a quiet place where your dog can relax from the noise outside.

Purple Podium Blog - Political Conversations and Public Speaking http://www.thepurplepodium.com Political Analysis of speeches, debates, video and public appearances through elections and campaigns. Candidate reviews for content and specifically delivery and effectiveness (or not.) A View of the Inauguration Address from the Podium Coaches https://www.thepurplepodium.com/podium_blog/view/1768 Sun, 22 Jan 2017 12:37:00 CST Charles Fellingham https://www.thepurplepodium.com/podium_blog?blogm=view&blogid=1768 Although successful business people need to be effective communicators, being an exceptional orator in business, while helpful, is not a pre-requisite. Certainly, professional and polished speaking skills are more qualifying for politicians who require national and global advocates.

Successful business leaders communicate around strategies based on a clear mission, a future vision and guiding values. Broad goal statements are honed into actionable plans that functional teams implement. Inspection and accountability assure a thorough and successful outcome.

President Donald Trump, in his inaugural address, outlined the mission and vision of his administration. These policy themes were consistent with the pillars of his campaign messages and should become the cornerstone of policy construction.

Here are the goals stated in his inaugural address to which his policies will be forged by his cabinet and advisors.

On the domestic front, he stated the domestic needs and expectation of his constituency.

“Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves.” And, “We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs.  Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.” He also said, “We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.” And, “We will get our people off of welfare and back to work – rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.”

He follows with a similar statement of needs on trade and foreign affairs, “…Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.” And, “We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world – but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.”

On his approach to allies and enemies, "We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones – and unite the civilized world against Radical Islamic Terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth."

His broad vision seeks to draw clear lines toward populism, open dialogue with global entities and a renewed interest toward R&D in science, medicine and space.

“We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American.

We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world – but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.

We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.”

He is not the polished orator like some of the past presidents. But, he does have a gift for framing his vision and mission in simple, repeatable sound bites that translate to a nationalistic brand that appeals to a broad swath of the country.

Why You Should Explore Kamigamo Shrine In Kyoto

Rob Dyer The Real Japan

I hope you enjoy reading this post.

If you want me to do your trip planning for you click here.

Quick Navigation

Ancient History and Culture - Without The Crowds

After Tokyo, Kyoto, is perhaps the biggest draw for foreigners coming to Japan. Which is understandable - after all, it was the capital for over a thousand years.

Personally, I love Kyoto as a city.

It caters for those who want to immerse themselves in its iconic shrines, but also offers some great shopping if you just want to indulge in some quality consumption while you visit. Terrific food is a constant here too.

The challenge with Kyoto is how to sample some of its ancient history and culture whilst avoiding the increasingly huge crowds flocking to its colourful and justifyably famous shrines.

And to experience something off-the-beaten-path.

The answer?

Heading North to Kamigamo Shrine

Kamigamo Shrine, is an important Shinto sanctuary on the banks of the Kamo River in north Kyoto, first founded in 678. Its formal name is the Kamo-wakeikazuchi Shrine.

Due to its location in the far north of Kyoto city (away from the most popular tourist areas) it can easily be missed if you don't know to look for it.

And it is worth seeking out. Here's why...

UNESCO World Heritage Site

It is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in Japan and is one of the seventeen Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto which have been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Kamigamo Shrine Kamo-wakeikazuchi Kyoto The Real Japan Rob Dyer

Kamigamo jinja (shrine) is famous for its haiden (worship hall), rebuilt in 1628-1629. A number of priests' residences are situated on its grounds, and one, the Nishimura House, is open to the public.

The term Kamo-jinja in Japanese is a general reference to Shimogamo Shrine and Kamigamo Shrine, the traditionally linked Kamo shrines of Kyoto. The Kamo-jinja serve the function of protecting Kyoto from evil influences.

The jinja name identifies the Kamo family of kami or deities who are venerated.

The God of Thunder

Kamogamo Shrine is dedicated to the veneration of Kamo Wake-ikazuchi, the kami (god) of thunder, who is celebarted in the Aoi Matsuri (festival) held here every year.

According to ancient records, the festival originated during the reign of  Emperor Kinmei (539 - 571). A succession of disastrous rains with high winds ruined the grain crops, and epidemics spread through the country. Diviners believed this was punishment by the Kamo deities.

The Shrine's Horse

The Emperor sent an entourage to the shrine to conduct various acts to appease the deities, in prayer for a bountiful harvest. Included in Emperor Kinmei's acts was the riding of a galloping horse.

This became an annual ritual, and the galloping horse performance developed into an equestrian archery performance. To this day, the Shrine has a white horse stabled there which visitors can pet and feed.

Also worth checking out whilst you're in the north of Kyoto is the Stardust Vegan Cafe & Boutique.

Kamigamo Shrine In Winter

In the film below we explore Kamigamo Shrine. Shot in January (just as the last snow was melting), it begins outside the second torii (gate), where a groundswoman is burning felled tree wood.

Watching the meltwater dripping from the roof of the Maidono, we walk towards the heart of the shrine. Passing through the manicured gardens.

Kamigamo Shrine Kamo-wakeikazuchi Kyoto The Real Japan Rob Dyer

We stop in front of the main romon (tower gate), watching as pilgrims enter the inner honden. The honden is the most sacred building at a Shinto shrine, intended purely for the use of the enshrined kami.

Next to the Omonomi stream, strips of paper, called omokuji, containing the worshippers' fortunes are tied in decorative rows in front of the tower gate in the hope that the good fortune they predict will come to pass.

The Kamo River

The Kamo River that wends its way through the shrine grounds gently ripples as we cross over it on the negi-bashi bridge. We turn to walk past the Tsuchi-no-ya building where people engaged in rituals and ceremonies to purify themselves before participating.

We head back out, pausing to turn and look back at the Hosodono building - known for the cones of sand, belived to have purification powers, that stand in front of it.

The Kamo River runs through Kamigamo Shrine

Finally, we walk towards the distinctive red of the second torii - the gateway standing at the entrance to the shrine - from where we started our tour. Torii indicate that the area inside the gateway is sacred space.

Kamigamo Shrine can get busy in high season and on festival days. If you want to experience something of the spiritual nature many seek when visiting here, then going on a week day out of high season is likely to get you closer to that.

I Got Your Back, Grand Canyon!

Recently, during a vacation to Sedona, Arizona, my friends and I decided to take a day trip to the Grand Canyon because it was only about two hours away. The Grand Canyon has never been at the top of my list of places to visit because honestly, isn’t it just a big hole in the ground? However, I always knew I’d get there eventually and figured this would be a great opportunity to check it off the list even if I wasn’t convinced I’d be all that impressed.

Jeff White was the only one in our group who had ever been there before, so after a week of me asking him what the big deal was, he decided it would be fun to film my reaction to it. Just to be clear, I’m not a complete idiot, I understood that the Grand Canyon was going to be big, I just couldn’t shake the feeling that when I saw it, I was going to have the same reaction I have when people go on and on about how amazing a particular pizza place is and then you get there, and you’re like “Yeah it’s good, but dude, it’s just pizza. Like, chill out.”

I made sure to keep my eyes closed the whole way up to the ledge, which was pretty nerve-wracking considering Jeff never got me back for the time I pretended I left our tickets to The Matrix Reloaded at home and he threw a category four tantrum at the theater in front of an entire lobby full of waiting movie-goers. Anyway, here it is:

Well now I just feel like a dick. But at least the Grand Canyon can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing that I have given it my stamp of approval. Seriously, though, I’m probably not the first person to say this, but the Grand Canyon is nuts! For all of you cynics out there, it is definitely better than a trip to Grimaldi’s. Only at Grimaldi’s you probably won’t be in jeopardy of toppling to your death, whilst perched on a rock six hundred feet above a canyon floor, like I was in this video where I’m trying to get the perfect photo. I’m absolutely terrified and can’t wait to get back on stable ground, so naturally this is where Jeff decides to conduct a follow-up interview.

We got this awesome picture though!

So I’m going to give the Grand Canyon my official endorsement, which I’m sure will now be printed on all promotional materials related to tourism in the area. You can quote me on this:

The Grand Canyon: It’s big, go see it.

    Well Kelly Muffin, this was the first time I saw you speechless!!!!!! well yes, I felt the same when I saw it, but we flew over it out from Las Vegas and LANDED on a Airstrip. Then went into the Canyon. The pilot came just out of the Airforce and thought that little Thing (Plane) was jut a Toy. Well, I got some fabulous pictures of the Hoover Dam!!! enough said.

The story begins in 1910 when the original log cabin was constructed by the Dryden Pulp and Paper Mill as a residence for its manager at the time, E. Bonsfield. It was one of three company residences, and in 1919, was one of only five homes in Dryden that had electricity. Those who lived here enjoyed maid service as well as heating during the cold Northwest Ontario winters, provided by the two hot water heaters located in the basement. That same year, a second story was added when the Mill’s secretary-treasurer, Herve Humphreys, lived there.

In 1945, the building was purchased by its first private owners, Art Kunza and Lloyd Bruce. The new owners updated the building in 1952 by adding the main lobby, lounge, and rooms to the south of the dining room. They also ‘modernized’ the building by covering the original log structure on the inside. Mr. Kunza owned a second hotel in Dryden and began to use the Lodge as a secondary rooming house.

The building changed hands again in 1957 when it was purchased by Alex and Eleanor Rychlo. The Rychlo’s began operating the dining room and banquet hall, in addition to renting out the rooms. The Lodge became a town meeting place and catered to business clientele as well.

In 1977, Ross and Helen Durance along with their daughter Susan and chef Barry Scherban purchased the building, and it became known as it is today: The Riverview Lodge. The new owners took on the job of renovating the interior of the building, which included removing the wall coverings and restoring the original logs. By August 1978 they were ready to open the dining room and in February 1981 the Lounge was in full operation.

Today, Susan Durance, Jordon Railian, and Barry and Suzanne Scherban continue to own and operate The Riverview Lodge. Come join us for a casual fine dining meal in our dining room, lunch, dinner or drinks in our lively lounge, or meet on our patio during summer months to enjoy the river views or a beach volleyball game. We pride ourselves on excellent service, great food and an inviting atmosphere. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Romero out of Johnson fight, withdraws from Bellator grand prix
Icon Sportswire / Getty

Yoel Romero has been pulled from his highly anticipated fight against Anthony Johnson after failing his pre-fight medical screening, Bellator officials told CBS Sports' Brian Campbell on Thursday.

The former UFC fighter is dealing with an eye issue, ESPN's Ariel Helwani reports.

Romero was scheduled to face "Rumble" in the Bellator 258 co-main event on May 7 in the last quarterfinal bout of the Light Heavyweight Grand Prix. The former UFC title challenger has been forced to withdraw from the tournament altogether.

Jose Augusto Azevedos Barros will replace Romero against Johnson in the quarterfinals at Bellator 258, Helwani added.

"Romero will become eligible to reapply for clearance to compete in three months, and we look forward to seeing him make his Bellator debut in the near future," the promotion said in a statement, according to Campbell. "Bellator MMA will look to reschedule the highly anticipated Johnson versus Romero matchup at a future date."

Johnson and Romero, two former UFC contenders, both recently signed with Bellator and were set to make their respective promotional debuts against each other.

Johnson, 37, hasn't stepped into the cage since he retired from mixed martial arts after a loss to Daniel Cormier in a UFC light heavyweight title bout in April 2017. He announced his intention to return to the sport last summer.

Romero, 44, parted ways with the UFC months after losing to Israel Adesanya in a middleweight title clash last March.

The winner of the bout between Johnson and his to-be-determined opponent will move on to face light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov in the semifinals.

A bantamweight title fight between champion Juan Archuleta and Sergio Pettis is set to headline the May 7 event at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Cleaner air is good for all of us

Editorial Board
View Comments

Probably only in small ways, the lives of all of us are going to get a little more difficult over the next several years. The sacrifices, though, will be small compared to the lives we save and the breaths we make easier.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which the Trump administration has not destroyed yet, has decided that much of southern Michigan needs to do more to curb ground-level ozone. That includes St. Clair County. The ruling means that we too often breathe air that contains too much ozone and too much smog.

Ground-level ozone forms when man-made air pollutants, such as those emitted by industrial processes and motor vehicles, combine with heat and humidity. The resulting smog is bad for all of us, but it is especially hazardous for sensitive groups, including young people, the elderly and people with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer.

St. Clair County not only has high levels of ground-level ozone, it also has above-average numbers of people suffering those diseases. It is important that all of do what we can to protect our neighbors with those conditions and to perhaps prevent future cases.

Our air quality problems are not entirely of our own making. Some of our air pollution blows here from the more densely industrialized and populated counties to our south and west. They are also part of the nonattainment area and will have to live with their own prescriptions. The state of Michigan has a three-year deadline for coming up with a plan to fix the problem.

But we do our share of dirtying the air in St. Clair County. We have industries — notably DTE Energy’s coal-fired power plants — that contribute substantial quantities of ozone-forming pollutants to our air. As DTE replaces those plants with a cleaner gas-fired power plant and renewable wind and solar generation over the next several years, that part should begin to take care of itself.

Likewise, as auto manufacturers produced increasingly more fuel-efficient and clean-running cars and trucks — and as we replace our older vehicles — that is another pollution source that should help remedy itself and help us all breathe easier.

But those things probably will not be enough. It is too early to guess what will be in the state’s compliance plan. But it will likely include things that some of us won’t like.

New and existing industries will likely be required to install expensive pollution controls, which will likely affect investment, profits and jobs. Motorists may face new inspection and monitoring requirements and may have to pay for new fuel formulations.

There will be costs and inconveniences. But we’ll be able to relax with just a deep breath.
