Week 30! Wow!

Summer vacation is already half over! Where has the time gone?! My birthday was a few weeks ago, and ever since then, I’ve been taking it easy; getting some reading done, working on my own writing, and translating. Once August begins, I’ll have to start planning for the beginning of the new school year. I’m both excited to get started, and sad to be thinking about the end of vacation.

Stay cool in this hot weather!

Red Data Girl: My Wish on the Night of the Shooting Stars By Noriko Ogiwara Chapter 4: Mizuho Part 2 (2 of 4)

There was a well-groomed park running along the edge of the concrete harbor. A number of hotels and big buildings were on the other edge of the park that touched the road. Mizuho and Izumiko went into one of these hotels and sat down in a tea room with tapestry covered chairs. There, they ordered an afternoon tea service. After their leisurely tea, they would take a walk through the park towards Osanbashi Pier.

To Izumiko’s eyes, the grand inside of the hotel they were currently in was not unlike the hotel she had stayed at with Sawa and Daisei in Tokyo. However, Yokohama had less of a sanitized feel to it, almost as if it retained each passing year and the stability it brought with it.

When they walked into the park, Izumiko found that the vast, blue scenery of the ocean was visible there. The water was so calm—no waves to be seen, only the water lapping at the edges of boats and the harbor. All the same, the bay gave off a deep, rich feeling that made the concrete space of the park feel pleasant.

It wasn’t possible to see the horizon over the ocean from the bay. Instead, the industrial district on the far shore and the bay bridge surrounded the water. To Izumiko, this was more unusual scenery than the ocean itself. As dusk fell, orange, white, and violet lights began to twinkle on the far shore, the bridge, and the anchored boats, giving the bay a Christmas tree like appearance. While it might have been December, it was unusually mild. The wind on Izumiko’s face was a little cool, but with her coat on, she wasn’t cold.

Izumiko continued to think about this and that as she talked with Mizuho. She wanted to know who Angelica’s father was. She had known Mizuho for a long time, but this was the first time she was talking to her as a member of the ascetic monks.

“Angelica said her father thinks we’ll probably be chosen as a team for World Heritage Candidate. We thought that would be alright to accept. Is that against what the ascetic monks have planned though?” she asked casually as they walked.

“No, we were hoping for that as well,” Mizuho admitted openly. “It’s our long-term wish that you bring together all the spiritually gifted students at Houjou Academy. That was Daisei’s intention when he enrolled you in the school. However, the more your powers awakened, the more we’ve considered other directions. While you were able to purify the school grounds, that doesn’t mean you can prevent every outside force from slipping in. At times like these, you need adults to lend a hand and other people who can help you expel the threat.”

Izumiko automatically thought of the Wild Hunt. Even Mr. Bernard, Angelica’s father, had been suspended in time while the threat had invaded, hadn’t he?

“By threat do you mean the people who want me as a research specimen?”

“Yes. Your abilities could easily be used in some way for research and development.”

“But you use me for research, don’t you, Mizuho?”

Surprised, Mizuho turned to look at Izumiko who was walking beside her. Then she let out a small laugh.

“So even you’re talking about that now, Izumiko. It’s true. Ever since you were born, I’ve been the researcher keeping an eye on you. Yukariko gave me that role and I’m proud of it. Because of that, I don’t feel inclined to let anyone else study you.”

After a pause, Izumiko said, “Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about if the ascetic monks are doing the right thing and if I’m really understanding all the things that I see around me. I’ve been thinking about what Dad does, too. Somehow I get the feeling that all he’s doing is hiding a lot of things…”

Mizuho appeared to think this over for a minute. When she spoke, her tone was different.

“You’re not a child anymore, are you? The ascetic monks certainly have unseen connections to a number of organizations and shadow companies. And they’re definitely wrapped up in things that aren’t always pretty. However, there are no companies completely on the up and up without an underbelly. Everyone pursues profits and that’s not an entirely righteous endeavor. I’m not just talking about the ascetic monks here who hide themselves from society. Even organizations with public faces can’t say they always do the right thing. That’s just as bad.”

Izumiko thought this over quietly.

There’s still too much I don’t know. I have no way of judging what’s going on around me. I guess that means I don’t have any choice but to follow what the adults closest to me say and go where they want me to…

She still wasn’t completely comfortable with the situation she had found herself in. It would have been stranger for her to not feel uneasy leaving for a foreign country by boat so suddenly. But Izumiko finally had to admit that this was most likely what came from being born into such a unique group of people.

As they walked further down the park’s stone pathway, a silver, overhead sign came into view which read, “International Passenger Boat Terminal.”

A regular road seemed to lead all the way up to the pier, but the main road where cars were passing by curved away from it, a line painted on the road leading them in a different direction. The buildings along the road were bright and sparkling with Christmas lights, but the path which Izumiko and Mizuho walked on along at the edge of the water was dark compared to it. There were street lights, but they were made to look liked old-fashioned gas lamps and didn’t give off much light. It made Izumiko feel like she was already in a foreign country.

Before they passed under the “International Passenger Boat Terminal” sign, Mizuho’s cellphone began to ring. She paused, and for a minute, spoke into it in English. Silent, Izumiko looked forlornly towards their destination as she waited. The place looked lonely without any big buildings nearby. They’d be there in just a few more steps.

At that moment, a voice called out from behind them.

“Izumiko.”

Izumiko turned to see Miyuki’s tall frame walking across the nearby intersection. Seeing him approach, Izumiko’s unease finally calmed. Miyuki was also out of his uniform, but in his case, he was dressed casually in a hooded parka, a black sweater, jeans, and sneakers. He wasn’t carrying any bags in his gloved hands.

As he approached, Izumiko wondered if he had ever planned to go to the party, but there was a decent probability that Miyuki and Manatsu would have attended dressed this way. Regardless, Miyuki was outfitted perfectly for what they were about to do. She gave a relieved smile as he walked towards them.

“Did you come by yourself?” she asked.

Just as she was about to ask if Yukimasa had come with him, Miyuki stopped in front of her, out of breath, and said sharply, “Get away from that person.”

“Wait. What?”

“Don’t trust her.”

Izumiko’s eyes went wide at Miyuki’s tone. Miyuki was always so well-mannered around adults. She couldn’t believe he was speaking this way now.

“Have you met Dr. Nakayama before?” Izumiko asked. “She’s Mom’s friend and the doctor Mr. Sagara always brings me to.”

Despite what Izumiko said, Miyuki did not lower his guard. He spoke again, his tone still warning of danger. “Think hard about what you’re doing. Have you noticed you’re being kidnapped?”

“Kidnapped?—No, you’re wrong.” Izumiko looked towards Mizuho. She was scowling now, having just ended her call. “She might have lied about Mom being hurt at first, but Dad and Mr. Sagara knew what was going on.”

“Why are you here then?” Miyuki pushed. “Why are you getting on a boat?”

“Didn’t Mr. Sagara tell you what’s happening and bring you here, Miyuki?”

Izumiko was shocked to see from Miyuki’s expression that he had no idea what was going on. Finally, she began to get the sense that something wasn’t right.

“Where’s Mr. Sagara?”

“Yukimasa doesn’t have anything to do with this. He’s in the US,” Miyuki answered.

“No, he’s on his way back, Miyuki,” Mizuho said, responding to his words. She took a step closer to Izumiko and put a hand on her shoulder before continuing, her voice sounding amused. “Izumiko, he really is something. He actually met us here. I kind of doubted he would until I saw him with my own eyes. I removed any physical way he could have known what we were doing, and yet he was able to pinpoint where you were. I wonder if it was easy for him because we were still in the Tokyo area. I definitely want to look into how what he did was even possible.”

“What are you talking about, Mizuho?”

“I have proof now. Izumiko’s spiritual abilities spread to the people she trusts. The more necessary it is to the situation, the more powerfully the goddess’s power manifests. And that power can be transferred.”

Without hesitation, Miyuki looked squarely at the middle-aged woman in the trench coat. Then he asked ever so calmly, “It’s clear that you’re one of the people who want to see what the goddess’s powers are capable of. I heard a little about it while I was also having tests done in that hospital before. Where are you planning to bring Izumiko?”

“First, we’re going to Hong Kong by boat. From there, we’ll take a plane to California where Daisei is waiting,” Mizuho answered simply.

Miyuki’s retort was quick. “Why did you take her away like that? Are you really bringing her to Daisei?”

“Your father knows all about this.”

“Please don’t assume I’m the same as my father. I won’t let you do this.”

Seeing that Miyuki wasn’t about to give up, Izumiko said timidly, “Um, it’s all true. I confirmed it on the phone a little while ago. Dad said he’s going to meet us at the airport.”

“Did you make sure you really were talking to your dad? Were you the one who dialed Daisei’s number? Just hearing his voice and thinking it sounded like him shouldn’t have been enough to make you believe, you know.”

Izumiko had nothing to say in response to this. Her sense of discomfort was continuing to grow. Daisei had done most of the talking and he had hung up quickly. However, he was the sort who would do those types of things, so she hadn’t thought much of it.

Miyuki spoke up again. “If Daisei was planning to bring you to the US, he would have called you sooner about it. You should stay here in Japan for the very reason that he didn’t do that. The way this is happening is very strange.”

Izumiko was slowly beginning to agree with him. Something had seemed off from the beginning of all this. All the same, she had allowed Mizuho to convince her that everything was fine. Izumiko took a step away from Mizuho and brushed her hand off her shoulder. She gazed at the tall woman.

“Mizuho, you said that you took me away so quickly because I couldn’t go to Angelica’s party, right? You said it was because Angelica’s father would take me as a research specimen. Was all of that really true?”

Miyuki cut in, his voice cold. “You’re actually the one who wants to take Izumiko as a research specimen, aren’t you? At the very least, this has nothing to do with Mr. Bernard’s proposal. The way you’re tricking Izumiko and taking her away is far more suspicious than anything he’s offered.”

Mizuho looked at Miyuki, her eyes narrowing a little. “Huh. So this is what Yukimasa’s son is like.”

“I’m taking Izumiko back,” Miyuki said decisively. “Houjou Academy is where Izumiko belongs now. She’s not going anywhere until there’s a good reason for her to.”

Mizuho shrugged her shoulders. Miyuki’s words appeared to have bothered her.

“I see. I thought that if I could persuade Izumiko to come with me, you would respect her wishes, but it appears that my hypothesis was wrong.”

Ignoring Mizuho’s words, Miyuki grabbed Izumiko’s hand.

“We’re going this way. Come back to the dorms with me.”

As Izumiko took a step towards Miyuki, drawn in by what he had said, Mizuho grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

“I’m sorry, but there’s no way that’s happening, Miyuki.”

Before Izumiko even knew what was going on, four strong looking men dressed in suits appeared out of the shadows and surrounded Miyuki. Caught off guard, Miyuki tried to jump away, but the men grabbed him by the arms and held him where he was. It looked as if he had been captured by criminals.

“Stop struggling.”

“Let me go!” Miyuki raged, struggling even harder, but one of the men only clamped a hand over his mouth and whispered close to his ear.

“Don’t underestimate what adults are capable of doing, rich boy. I could use a stun gun or tranquilize you. There are plenty of ways that I could turn you into luggage and carry you out of here, but wouldn’t you rather this be easy? You can have a fun time leaving Japan, too. Now be a good boy and start walking forward on your own two feet. Giving in is nothing to be embarrassed about.”

Izumiko couldn’t believe what was happening in front of her own eyes. These men she had never seen before, and certainly did not know, all looked strangely the same and they were all taller than Miyuki. They weren’t shikigami nor were they spirits. They were undeniably human, but she had certainly never seen any humans like them before.

Heavy. Cold. Hard…

Whatever it was in those bodies was heavy. From the way the men moved, Izumiko could tell that more than just a heart kept their bodies moving. It was the sort of movement that wouldn’t be able to change course easily due to weight…

As Izumiko stood there staring, Miyuki, threatened into silence, was marched forward, the men’s hands on his shoulders. He turned his head to look at Mizuho.

“This is an impressive crime, Dr. Nakayama.”

Izumiko couldn’t see Mizuho’s expression from where she was standing, but she could assume the woman looked pleased with herself.

“Have you considered that I’m actually more interested in you than I am in Izumiko? As a source of power, Izumiko is one of a kind, but the people interested in getting their hands on her are far more diverse. The valuable thing about her is that we investigate such questions as what conditions lead Izumiko’s powers to influence the things around her, and what is it about the people who can accept her transferred abilities that allow them to do so. That’s you. And that’s why I want you to go with us.”

Miyuki glanced quickly in Izumiko’s direction, but then brought his eyes straight back to Mizuho.

“You’re already scaring Izumiko. I don’t know what’ll happen if you go any further with this.”

“Nothing’s going to happen. Izumiko will listen to what I say. She won’t go against what I tell her to do. We’re going to be together for a long time, after all.”

…Why didn’t I notice it before?...

Only now did Izumiko realize that Mizuho gave off the same aura as the men surrounding Miyuki. When Mizuho had first put her arms around Izumiko in the entrance to the girl’s dorm, she should have felt uneasy. The fact that she had known Mizuho for a long time had prevented her from judging the situation appropriately.

What Mizuho had said was true. Izumiko wouldn’t do anything now. The cold heaviness from the arm around her was sinking into her. She was hardening, unable to make even the smallest movement.

Turning pale at the realization, Izumiko looked harder at Miyuki. He let out a breath and said, “So you stop Izumiko’s power. You’re the ascetic monks’ failsafe, aren’t you?”

“You could say that. I don’t want to use force getting you to come with us. Therefore, I want you to come quietly with Izumiko to Hong Kong. Once we’re on the boat, there’ll be plenty of time to clue you into what’s going on. Then you’ll know what I’ve already told Izumiko.”

With no other options available to them, Miyuki and Izumiko walked towards the pier as captives.

A Woman Caught In Adultery

March 22, 2021, Monday Monday of the Fifth Week of Lent (Violet) CYCLE B - YEAR I RDGS: DN 13:1-9. 15-17. 19-30. 33-62 or DN 13:41-62/ PS 23:1-3. 3-4. 5. 6 GOSPEL: JN 8:1-11

Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. But early in the morning he arrived again in the temple area, and all the people started coming to him, and he sat down and taught them. Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery and made her stand in the middle. They said to him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” They said this to test him, so that they could have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger. But when they continued asking him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again he bent down and wrote on the ground. And in response, they went away one by one, beginning with the elders. So he was left alone with the woman before him. Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She replied, “No one, sir.” Then Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on do not sin any more.”

GOSPEL REFLECTION:

This story tells us about people who came to Jesus with different mindsets. The Pharisees and scribes were sure they were right and the woman knew that she had done wrong. The effecting of meeting Jesus and letting Him into their lives changes them powerfully. The Pharisees and scribes, through the words of Jesus were able to see that they too were sinners, like the woman they were accusing and they were not perfect. The woman, expecting to be punished for her error, received a lovely acceptance from Jesus which must have left a lasting impression on her.

We have all sinned. We have all experienced overwhelming shame. Even if the sin is not discovered, our own self-accusatory voice can so loud in our head that it drowns out the gentle voice of Jesus, telling us to begin again.

PRAYER:

Lord, you who opened the ears of the deaf and the eyes of the blind, let me hear your words of forgiveness; let me see and believe in the possibility of a better life.

Philly Home on America’s Oldest Residential Street Is the Most Popular This Week

realtor.com

A historic property sitting at the end of Elfreths Aly—the oldest residential street in America—in Philadelphia is this week’s most popular home on realtor.com®. It’s listed for $1.2 million.

Built in 1703, the home is a National Historic Landmark and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, galleries, and historic sites such as the Liberty Bell.

The history is visible in the listing photos, even below ground! “The basement is like a fortress,” says listing agent Ryan McManus. “It was used as a root cellar.”

Other clues to the two-bedroom home’s rich history include the now inoperable outhouse just off the kitchen.

Elfreths Aly with its cobblestone streets is a year-round tourist attraction and homes in the area rarely go on the market, says McManus. The current owners have had this property for more than 30 years.

But not everyone was looking for 18th-century properties this week.

Other homes you clicked on include a Bucks County, PA, mansion with fire damage that’s headed to auction; a four-story, Mediterranean-style mansion in Florida with water views and private beach access; and the Washington estate once owned by department store magnate D.E. Frederick.

So whether you are a Yankee doodle dandy, shopping for a family home in Tennessee, or just want to dream about living lavish on the beach, there’s something in this week’s top 10 just for you. Take a look!

THIBAUT COURTOIS and Alvaro Morata both missed penalties as Arsenal won the Community Shield in a shoot-out following a 1-1 draw at Wembley.

Arsenal new boy Sead Kolasinac headed home a late equaliser at WembleyRex FeaturesVictor Moses broke the deadlock just moments into the second halfRex FeaturesGary Cahill was the only scorer for Chelsea from the spot and the penalty taken by goalkeeper Courtois was particularly bad. Morata was a second half substitute for Antonio Conte and he dragged his effort wide of Petr Cech’s post. The match was pretty even and neither side deserved to win although for Arsenal, all eyes will be on Friday when they start the Premier League season against Leicester. The big talking point of the first half occurred when Arsenal lost Per Mertesacker after 30 minutes. The big German was floored and covered in blood after he suffered an eye injury following an elbow from Cahill. Record signing Alexandre Lacazette came close to a debut goal when he struck the post before the break.

Yet he had already burst out of his technical area twice inside the opening twenty minutes. * Irony is sometimes a wonderful thing. Willian was booked on 37 minutes for a tumble in the box – although he appeared to just trip over his own feet.

Few would forgive Gunners for feeling aggrieved, it could be argued he should have been suspended – instead he will miss the Premier League opener against Burnley next week. * And that was Moses’ first goal for the Stamford Bridge side in 27 matches. His last came against Spurs in November 2016. * Gary Cahill appeared to be on a one man mission to injure everyone. Arsenal’s Per Mertesacker was forced off covered in blood in the first period after he was caught by the England defender’s elbow. Then ten minutes into the second half he left team-mate David Luiz needing treatment after a clash of heads. * Chelsea fans were desperate to see their new big-money buy Alvaro Morata in action. But they had to wait until the 73rd minute when he replaced Michy Batshuayi from the bench – and he might have wished he had stayed there after his miss from the spot. * Pedro has endured a miserable summer against the Gunners. Just a fortnight ago he suffered a fractured cheekbone after being smashed in the face by goalkeeper David Ospina in a pre-season friendly. And it got worse today as he was red carded for a nasty rake down the back of Granit Xhaka’s Achilles. * The last two red cards in this fixture have both now been issued to Chelsea men. The previous one was handed out to Branislav Ivanovic in 2012. * Arsenal’s victory continued a recent trend in this clash. The three previous Community Shields had all been won by the FA Cup winners. * Chelsea’s defeat also continued their miserable run of form in this contest. They have now lost their last four Community Shield matches against Manchester United (2010), Manchester City (2012) and Arsenal (2015) as well as now this one. * Arsene Wenger must have been pretty confident heading into the clash. Aside from the Emirates and Highbury, he has won more games at Wembley than at any other ground. And he stretched that to 13 this afternoon.

Train strikes: People returning to work face more strikes

Getty Images

By Noor Nanji

Business reporter, BBC News

People returning to work this week after the Christmas break are being urged to avoid travelling by rail because of strikes.

The walkouts by RMT members on 3-4 and 6-7 January, and by Aslef drivers on 5 January, will “significantly impact” services, said Network Rail.

RMT union members have rejected offers in a dispute over pay, job security and working conditions.

Train drivers at 15 rail companies, in the Aslef union, are striking over pay.

Network Rail – which maintains the rails, signals and stations – said the combination of strikes will result in only about 20% of services running, with many areas not seeing any trains at all.

Services across England, Scotland and Wales could be affected by the strikes.

The train strike days in December and January

Strikes and cost of living to hit new year parties

If no one comes we close early, says pub

“We’re sorry to have to, once again, ask passengers to avoid using the railway this week,” a spokesperson from Network Rail said.

The Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents the train operating companies, also urged people only to travel if “absolutely necessary”.

Trains that do run will start later and finish much earlier than usual, with services typically running between 7:30am and 6.30pm on the days of the strike.

There may also be some knock-on disruption to services on 8 January.

Passengers are being advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to check before they travel.

It is the latest in a series of strikes across the rail network, which have caused major disruption.

The two 48-hour walkouts on Tuesday and Friday involve around 40,000 RMT members on Network Rail and 14 train operators.

The RMT’s general secretary Mick Lynch insisted that his members wanted a settlement, not further disruption.

“There’s been too much disruption on the railway caused by government policy and if we can get sensible proposals we can work up towards a solution,” Mr Lynch told the BBC.

He accused government ministers of “sitting on their hands” and failing to help secure a deal.

“They keep saying that they’re facilitating a deal. And I think it’s absolutely the opposite to that.”

However, a Department for Transport spokesperson rejected this, saying: “The government has demonstrated it is being reasonable and stands ready to facilitate a resolution to rail disputes.

“It’s time the unions came to the table and played their part as well.”

Meanwhile, Network Rail said the deal it has put forward to the RMT is “fair and reasonable”, and urged the union to “sit down with us” and revisit it.

Separately, the Aslef strike involves train drivers across 15 rail companies.

The one-day strike will result in even fewer services running, with some operators expected to run “very significantly reduced timetables”, the RDG warned.

The Aslef union said it had been pushed into taking action because the train companies had not put forward an offer.

“Six months after we had the temerity to ask for a pay rise for train drivers who have, now, not had an increase for nearly four years, we have still not had an offer from the train companies which employ us,” Keith Richmond, Aslef’s spokesman, told the BBC.

“The companies, or the government which stands behind them, could end this dispute now by making a serious and sensible pay offer. It is up to them.”

Daniel Mann, director of industry operations at the RDG, said no-one wanted to see the strikes go ahead.

“This dispute will only be resolved by agreeing the long-overdue reforms to working arrangements needed to put the industry on a sustainable footing, rather than unions condemning their members to losing more pay in the new year.”

The rail industry is under pressure to save money after the pandemic left a hole in its finances. Bosses say reforms need to be agreed to afford pay increases and modernise the railway.

But unions say salaries should increase to reflect the rising cost of living.

The rail strikes come at a time of widespread industry walkouts across the country.

Ambulance drivers, nurses, driving examiners, highway workers and postal workers have all gone on strike in recent weeks.
