2016 Support Our Kids Reunion The 5th Support Our Kids Reunion at Tohoku University HABATAKI･翔 Report November 2016 Support Our Kids Committee What is HABATAKI Project? Objective Thank you for participating in the 5th Support Our Kids Reunion and to your continuous cooperation and support to the Support Our Kids project. The Support Our Kids project is a 10-year project which aims to support the independence of children affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and nurture them into become future reconstruction leaders of the next generation. With the cooperation of embassies and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we offer an overseas homestay program funded through charity activities and projects. Following our charity event with Derek Jeter and Hideki Matsui last year, Gary Player and Enya participated in our March charity event, and Dan Carter in July. We successfully implemented the homestay programs with the tremendous support we received from these charity events. Today, 52 students who participated in the program will present their experiences abroad. Alumni of the program will also share their plans for the future and the reconstruction activities they have been working on. Additionally, we have students who wrote a theme song for Support Our Kids, and wished to perform it live to all of you attending today. Kindly lend your ears to support the kids and I hope you all have a pleasant time with them. We will continue to support these children, keeping in mind our motto, “Hitori janaiyo” (You are not alone). November 13, 2016 Support Our Kids Committee Honorary Chairman Ian Kennedy (Former Ambassador of New Zealand to Japan) What is HABATAKI Project? The Reunion was organized to make a stage for kids to grow and shine. Upon asking the students to help and suggest a name for this event, New Zealand program participant Saki Ito suggested “HABATAKI”. Habataki in Japanese means to flap or flutter one’s wings. She said, “We were able to fly our wings because of the support of many. From now on, we will fly on our own and repay the kindness and support we received.” ２ Summary／Program Summary Date: November 13, 2016 (Sun) 13:00～16:00 Venue: Tohoku Fukushi University, Keyaki Hall Hosted By: Support Our Kids Committee Co-hosted By: Tohoku Fukushi University一般社団法人3.11震災孤児遺児文化･スポーツ支援 Participants: 250 (of 105 are students) Program 12：30 Reception 13：00 Opening ／ MC: Junko Akisawa (TBS Announcer) ・Opening Speech Yuki Sawada（Reunion 2016 Committee / USA 2014 Participant） ・Greetings Yukiatsu Akizawa（Support Our Kids Committee; Executive Director） 13：20 Part 1 Overseas Homestay Presentations ・By Poland＆Switzerland, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, USA homestay participants 14：45 Part 2 HABATAKI Symposium “Fukko no Wa” Project reports (Nepal & Kumamoto) ・By HABATAKI Project members 15：15 Part 3 OBOG Interview “Watashi no Yume” (My Dreams) ・Marei Onodera（UK2012）、Haruka Hanzawa（France2013） 15：30 Part 4 HABATAKI SPECIAL LIVE ・Reika Sato（Canada2014）、Yuka Onodera（New Zealand2014）、Kaori Suda（New Zealand2015） 15：45 Closing ・Closing Speech Akari Watanabe（Reunion 2016 Committee/ Canada 2015 Participant） ・Photo Session 16：30～18：00 After Party at Fudo Cafeteria ※Honorary titles are omitted 3 Part 1 Overseas Homestay Presentations A total of 6 groups went on stage with their unique and creative presentations. It’s been 3 months since their arrival back in Japan, and their growth not only as individuals but also as a group was apparent. We had the chance to visit Auschwitz Concentration Camps, and witnessed the horrors of war. Our heart ached and thought that it should never be repeated. Japan experienced a similar disaster; when a nuclear bomb destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As future leaders of the next generation, we realized that we need to remember these events and pass it on to the next generation to make sure it does not happen again. Our team name is “Try For”. We hope to make challenges through SOK activities with all of your support. I’ve received comments that I’ve become brighter and more open, after the homestay program. I believe I have my host family to thank for this since they taught me, “Nothing will happen if you keep waiting, you need to take action to make it happen”. This was the case during my stay. I soon learned to take action, and felt that it helped me grow as a person. Thank you, to all those who gave us this opportunity. I hope to repay you through continued participation in SOK activities. We made many great memories and experiences through this program; including sharing our experiences during the disaster and teaching Japanese culture. Those who we met in Canada warmly welcomed us and taught us love and kindness. We, as a group, all felt that it was now our turn to the same to others. We would like to express our gratitude to all who we met in Canada, and continue our challenges for a better future. 4 Part 1 Overseas Homestay Presentations The participants described the joys, frustrations and learnings of experiencing a different culture. They also expressed their gratitude to their families, teachers and supporters. We learned of the multi-cultural aspects of Australia and each member of this group had the chance to experience it. If it weren’t for this program, we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to see such diversity. Additionally, due to the loss and despair we experienced from the Great East Japan Earthquake, it was difficult for us to open up. This trip became an opportunity to face the loss and despair, and see it as a chance to live a better life. I was able to see and feel all the possibilities for my future during the homestay program. Although it has been 3 months since we came back from New Zealand, I believe I have become more active and open to ideas. We were placed in a situation which differed from what we thought was “normal”, which taught us to think outside the box instead of fixed ideas and stereotypes. And that has become one traits I am confident about. Also, I am very glad to have found great friends through this program. I hope to treasure all those who I met and my dear friends. Mr. Terada taught us something that made an impact on all of us. That is, “We can’t go through life just on our own, but we need to become someone who can live even on their own”. Without the support of everyone around us, we won’t be where we are. Like how we received support from others, we need to stand up and support those around us in return. We will not forget Mr. Terada’s words and continue to face challenges that we may face in our lives. 5 Part 2 HABATAKI Symposium “Fukko no Wa” (Reconstruction Outreach) Project reports HABATAKI project members present their reports on the “Fukko no Wa” projects. They believe that it is their turn to support others, thus the implementation of projects to support Nepal and Kumamoto earthquake victims ◆HABATAKI Project 2016 Reports The HABATAKI project was organized to create a place for us to cast our thoughts of supporting others, into action. Today, we would like to present reports from two projects we conducted; “Tohoku x Nepal” and “Tohoku x Kumamoto” Reconstruction Outreach projects. ◆Tohoku x Nepal Reconstruction Outreach Project Upon seeing the news about the devastating Nepal Earthquakes, I thought this was my chance to support others. I immediately reached out to my fellow SOK friends and started funding through fundraising and crowdfunding. Similar to how it was used to support us, we used the funds for a homestay program for Nepalese students. In March 2016, we successfully took in 3 students to Tohoku. We went through many hardships as we planned this project. However, after picking them up from the airport and spending time with them, I found it very rewarding in the end. After going through it from planning, management to operation, I learned the effort that everyone put through in the homestay programs we experienced. From that, I feel even more grateful to our supporters. ◆Tohoku x Kumamoto Reconstruction Outreach Project Although I was in a disaster-hit area during the Great East Japan Earthquake, I was frustrated because I felt there was nothing I could do. However, upon learning about the Support Our Kids project, I knew it was time to take action. When I saw the news of the Kumamoto earthquakes, I thought that, maybe there were students who felt like I did. Additionally, I witnessed my fellow SOK friends successfully organize the Tohoku x Nepal projects. I decided to follow their lead and organized a project and invited 5 students from Kumamoto to Iwaki City, Fukushima. The main members of the Nepal project lived in different places, and differed in age. In that sense, it was easier for us to organize because we all go to the same class in the same school. However, we were also close that we would disagree to certain things, and felt the difficulties of organizing a project. Yet, we were able to move forward and succeed with the support of many. We planned many activities for the Kumamoto students; sharing our experiences during the disaster, visiting the reconstructed Iwaki City, and discussing further about reconstruction. They were very shy at first, but eventually opened up which made us very happy. After the program was over, they said “Next time, it will be our turn to invite you to Kumamoto!” I will never forget the gratitude I felt and hope to see them again in the near future.

  • I TEAM JAPAN: THEMES of 'JAPANESENESS' in MASS MEDIA
    i TEAM JAPAN: THEMES OF ‘JAPANESENESS’ IN MASS MEDIA SPORTS NARRATIVES A Dissertation submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michael Plugh July 2015 Examining Committee Members: Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Advisory Chair, Media and Communication Doctoral Program Nancy Morris, Media and Communication Doctoral Program John Campbell, Media and Communication Doctoral Program Lance Strate, External Member, Fordham University ii © Copyright 2015 by MichaelPlugh All Rights Reserved iii Abstract This dissertation concerns the reproduction and negotiation of Japanese national identity at the intersection between sports, media, and globalization. The research includes the analysis of newspaper coverage of the most significant sporting events in recent Japanese history, including the 2014 Koshien National High School Baseball Championships, the awarding of the People’s Honor Award, the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, wrestler Hakuho’s record breaking victories in the sumo ring, and the bidding process for the 2020 Olympic Games. 2054 Japanese language articles were examined by thematic analysis in order to identify the extent to which established themes of “Japaneseness” were reproduced or renegotiated in the coverage. The research contributes to a broader understanding of national identity negotiation by illustrating the manner in which established symbolic boundaries are reproduced in service of the nation, particularly via mass media. Furthermore, the manner in which change is negotiated through processes of assimilation and rejection was considered through the lens of hybridity theory. iv To my wife, Ari, and my children, Hiroto and Mia. Your love sustained me throughout this process.

  • Life Net of New York Medical Director Dr. Deborah Funk Honored As the New York Yankees EMS Provider of the Year
    id366482484 pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com Life Net of New York Medical Director Dr. Deborah Funk Honored as the New York Yankees EMS Provider of the Year Dr. Deborah Funk who serves as a co-medical director for the Life Net of New York and Guthrie Air helicopter programs was recently honored by the New York Yankees baseball team as EMS Provider of the Year. The Yankees hosted an EMS appreciation night at Yankee Stadium for their game against the Kansas City Royals on September 28th, 2009. Dr. Funk was invited onto the field prior to the game for presentation of the award. During the presentation, the Life Net of New York program logo was displayed on one of the stadium’s large viewing screens. Dr. Funk was honored for her contributions to the Emergency Medical Services from her time as a street Paramedic through her current role as an Air Methods Medical Director. New York Yankees player Hideki Matsui posed with Dr. Funk for a photo-op on the playing field. The event was attended by more than 45,000 spectators including more than 250 EMS providers. The game was nearly a wash-out due to a rain delay and started almost two hours late. Despite the delay, fans were treated to an 8-2 Yankees win which included a grand-slam by New York Yankees Robinson Cano. This is only the second year that the Yankees have hosted such an event. Life Net of New York Flight Paramedic Ken Reardon was instrumental in having the Yankees support such an event after he became aware of the New York Mets conducting a similar event.

  • Baseball and Beesuboru
    AMERICAN BASEBALL IMPERIALISM, CLASHING NATIONAL CULTURES, AND THE FUTURE OF SAMURAI BESUBORU PETER C. BJARKMAN El béisbol is the Monroe Doctrine turned into a lineup card, a remembrance of past invasions. – John Krich from El Béisbol: Travels Through the Pan-American Pastime (1989) When baseball (the spectacle) is seen restrictively as American baseball, and then when American baseball is seen narrowly as Major League Baseball (MLB), two disparate views will tend to appear. In one case, fans happily accept league expansion, soaring attendance figures, even exciting home run races as evidence that all is well in this best of all possible baseball worlds. In the other case, the same evidence can be seen as mirroring the desperate last flailing of a dying institution – or at least one on the edge of losing any recognizable character as the great American national pastime. Big league baseball’s modern-era television spectacle – featuring overpaid celebrity athletes, rock-concert stadium atmosphere, and the recent plague of steroid abuse – has labored at attracting a new free-spending generation of fans enticed more by notoriety than aesthetics, and consequently it has also succeeded in driving out older generations of devotees once attracted by the sport’s unique pastoral simplicities. Anyone assessing the business health and pop-culture status of the North American version of professional baseball must pay careful attention to the fact that better than forty percent of today’s big league rosters are now filled with athletes who claim their birthright as well as their baseball training or heritage outside of the United States.
