NHK Wins Two ABU Prizes (Press Release) NHK Wins Two ABU Prizes TOKYO, November 11, 2014- NHK is celebrating wins at this year’s Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) Prizes competition. There were 292 entries (187 for television and 105 for radio) in 13 categories. NHK won ABU Prizes for two programs and a commendation for another. The corporation also won the Dennis Anthony Memorial Award for its coverage of the typhoon disaster that struck the Japanese island of Izu Oshima in October 2013. The winners were announced in Macau on October 27th. ABU Prize for Best Sports Program Sumo Spirit: A Storm from Egypt (2014, 50 min.) Osunaarashi is an Egyptian bruiser whose ring name means Great Sandstorm. He made headlines in Japan by becoming the first sumo wrestler from Africa—and the first Muslim. Then he fought his way to the sport’s top division faster than any foreigner before him. A director with NHK’s Arabic language radio service documented Osunaarashi’s first two years in Japan. The program shows how the wrestler overcame cultural differences, adapted to sumo’s spartan lifestyle, and pushed toward his goal of reaching the sport’s highest rank. ABU Prize for Best Radio Drama A Pot of Goldfish: 55 Years of Dreaming (2014, 50 min.) How long can unrequited love endure? Kazuhiro met his first and only love, Mitsuko, on a night in 1959 during a raging typhoon. For the next 55 years, his feelings for her never faded. Kazuhiro has now retired. As he and Mitsuko face the final chapter of their lives, they get their last chance to be together. The drama traces Kazuhiro’s lifetime of loving in solitude—and the apparitions of goldfish that sustained him—while Mitsuko was supporting her family in an area famous for its goldfish-breeding industry. - 1 - Commendation (ABU Perspective Awards Category) Blessings Amid Disaster (2014, 45 min.) Many people in Japan lost their lives when an earthquake and tsunami struck on March 11, 2011. On the same day, more than 100 new lives began. One woman gave birth in a hospital nearly submerged by the tsunami. Another couldn’t find true joy in her baby as she grieved for the lost. A passion to protect the children has carried families like theirs through adversity and helped to make them stronger. Now, the little ones have celebrated their third birthday. This documentary follows their families during the three years since the disaster and looks at their hopes for the future. Dennis Anthony Memorial Award Typhoon Disaster Coverage (October 2013) The Dennis Anthony Memorial Award honors the most outstanding news coverage by an Asiavision member. NHK won this award for its coverage of the disaster that Typhoon Wipha sparked on the island of Izu Oshima in October 2013.

  • Samoan Submission Machines
    Samoan Submission Machines: Grappling with Representations of Samoan Identity in Professional Wrestling Theo Plothe1 Savannah State University [email protected] Amongst the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. The discussion of Samoan identity in the context of sport has examined Maori identity and masculinity in New Zealand, among other topics, but there has yet to be work which considers Samoans within professional wrestling. This research investigates Samoan identity through a content analysis of televised wrestling matches. This research identifies six primary stereotypes under which Samoan identity is portrayed. These portrayals of Samoan characters, I argue, flatten the representation of this ethnic group within wrestling and culture at large. Keywords: Samoans, identity, representation, gimmicks Introduction Among the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. This research investigates the identity of Samoans within professional wrestling, and the different ways they are constructed and presented to audiences. “Gimmicks,” characters portrayed by a wrestler “resulting in the sum of fictional elements, attire and wrestling ability” (Oliva and Calleja 3) utilized by Samoans have run the gamut from the wild uncivilized savage, to the sumo (both in villainous Japanese and comically absurd iterations), to the ultra-cool mogul who wears silk shirts and fancy shoes. Their ability to cut promos, an important facet of the modern gimmick allowing wrestlers to address their opponents and storylines, varies widely as well, but all lie within their Samoan identity.

  • BA Ritgerð the Change of Tides
    BA ritgerð Japanskt Mál og menning The Change of tides: The advent of non-nationals in Sumo Henry Fannar Clemmensen Leiðbeinandi Gunnella Þorgeirsdóttir September 2019 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Japanskt mál og menning The Change of Tides: The advent of non-nationals in Sumo Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Henry Fannar Clemmensen Kt.: 260294-3429 Leiðbeinandi: Gunnella Þorgeirsdóttir September 2019 1 Abstract Non-Japanese sumo wrestlers are common today, but that has not always been the case. For over a thousand years sumo tournaments were exclusively held by Japanese men, and up until the 1960s foreigners were almost unheard of in the professional sumo scene. As the world’s modernization and internationalization accelerated so did foreign interest in the National sport of sumo. Today the sport has spread to over 87 countries which have joined the International Sumo Federation. With an interest in professional sumo in Japan at an all-time low and with fewer wrestlers applying to stables than ever before, viewers of tournaments and media coverage of events has been decreasing, which is closely followed by western originated sports having overtaken sumo in popularity e.g. soccer and baseball. Yet the interest in sumo on an international scale has increased considerably. In which way has this rising internationalization affected the sumo world and the professional sumo world and how is it reflected in modern Japanese society, in what way did the wrestlers coming from overseas experience the sumo culture compared to how it is today? Today the sumo scene is largely dominated by Mongolian wrestlers, how did this come to pass and how has the society of Japan reacted to these changes.

In nomenclature, fusion is the operation that creates a common bond between two rings, each ring contributing one bond and the two atoms directly attached to the bond. This type of fusion is called ortho- or ortho- and peri-fusion if two adjacent bonds are involved. The term fusion is also used todesc ribe the operation creating a common atom between two ring systems, each contributing one atom. This type of fusion is called spirofusion (see P-24.1). Traditionally, ortho- and ortho- and peri-fusion were simply called fusion and the resulting polycyclic systems were referred to as fused ring systems or fused ring compounds. The term 'spirofusion' is new in nomenclature, and to avoid ambiguity 'fusion' should not be used without the prefix 'spiro' when 'spirofusion' is intended."

He is the father of the late "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig, the grandfather of Joe "Curtis Axel" Hennig, and is best known for his work in the American Wrestling Association, National Wrestling Alliance and World Wide Wrestling Federation. Hennig was also known for his muscular neck which, to this day, measures 22 inches. Harley Leland Race (born April 11, 1943)[2] is an American former professional wrestler, and current promoter and trainer. During his career as a wrestler, Race worked for all of the major wrestling promotions, including the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), the American Wrestling Association (AWA), the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), and World Championship Wrestling(WCW). He held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship seven times, and was the first NWA United States Heavyweight Champion, which is now known as the WWE's United States Championship. Race is one of six men inducted into each of the WWE Hall of Fame, the NWA Hall of Fame, the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame, and is considered by many past and present fans/wrestlers and promoters as one of the best professional wrestlers of all time. He is highly respected for his toughness and lifelong dedication to the business. After a serious auto accident where Race almost lost his leg and intense physical therapy, he returned to the ring in 1964, wrestling for the Funks' Amarillo, Texas, territory. This time, he wrestled under his own name, after his father told him that he should not work to make anyone else's name famous.
