# Tokyo Ravens

***Tokyo Ravens*** (東京レイヴンズ, *Tōkyō Reivunzu*) is a Japanese light novel series written by Kōhei Azano and illustrated by Sumihei. It was adapted into a manga series in 2010. It received an anime series on October 9, 2013 and ended on March 26, 2014. Funimation simulcasted the series on their website.

## Plot

Onmyodou magic was a powerful technique which was used by the Japanese during World War I. Later, the infamous Yakou Tsuchimikado performed a ritual known as the "Taizan Fukun Ritual", which will eventually bring out Japan as a formidable force. However, the ritual goes horribly wrong and the result of this becomes what is now known as the "Great Spiritual Disaster", an incident which haunts the entire Japanese continent to date. In addition to this, the Onmyo Agency was established to monitor supernatural activity in the area and to combat any spirits or demons that would make their way into the real world.

In the present day, onmyodou has become more refined, simplified and modernised, even finding its use in the fields of medicine and technology. But not everyone is capable of affording this power, as can be seen in the case of Harutora, a member of one of the Tsuchimikado's branch families, who was born with no spiritual power. Despite being born to a distinguished onmyoji family, his life has become meaningless as he can accomplish nothing without any spiritual power. But he does remember the fact about him making a promise with his engaged childhood friend Natsume, the Tsuchimikado's family heir and Yakou's supposed reincarnation. Despite his background, living a normal and peaceful life is all Harutora ever wanted. But when a group of people from the Onmyo Agency attempt to recreate the same tragedy that led to Japan's downfall two years ago, he decides to take matters into his own hands by fighting alongside Natsume as her shikigami (supporter).

Later on the bus ride home, Harutora notices the pink ribbon in Natsume's hair and realizes that it's the exact ribbon he won for Hokuto at the fair, making him believe that Hokuto's real controller was Natsume. | | | |

While Natsume and Harutora are alone together, she begins to tell him about Hokuto. Their conversation soon gets interrupted when Souma Takiko arrives. She then explains her family's connection to Yakou and reveals that Harutora is Yakou's true reincarnation. She lets loose the Raven Coat, but instead of settling on him, it begins to possess him. By this time, all the others have arrived to the scene and they follow Harutora in an attempt to stop him. Natsume recalls all the events up till date and realizes that the star spell she placed on him really didn't give him spiritual seeing power, it only undid half the curse which was sealing his natural abilities. She decides to completely undo the seal so that Harutora's spiritual power can settle down. After doing so, the Raven Coat stops possessing him. In the process however, Natsume is fatally injured, but manages to tell Harutora that she loves him. | | | |
| 21 | "to The Darksky -Dark night-"
"tū Za Dākusukai Yamiyo" (to The Darksky -闇夜-) | March 5, 2014 (2014-03-05) |
| Harutora runs off with Natsume's body, with Touji and Suzuka following. They encounter Dairenji Shido, Takiko's summoned familiar. Suzuka recognizes that he is her father, though he had died and was brought back to life. He tries to persuade Harutora to join the Twin Horn Syndicate, offering the Taizan Fukun Ritual to bring Natsume back to life as a bribe. He departs and the Onmyo Agency catches up, taking Harutora in for interrogation. Touji and the others wait at the Onmyo Agency, explaining what happened to the principal. She talks with Zenjiro and they say they'll handle things. Touji and the others decide to sneak back to the Onmyo Agency later to see Harutora and attempt to retrieve Natsume's body in case there's any chance of reviving her. Meanwhile, Jin-sensei visits Natsume and apologizes for not saving her. He calls Ashiya Douman and asks for his help to attack the Onmyo Agency. | | | |
| 22 | "to The DarkSky -Protector-"
"tū Za Dākusukai Gohō" (to The DarkSky -護法-) | March 12, 2014 (2014-03-12) |
| Harutora talks with Chief Kurahashi and Yashamaru about resurrecting Natsume with the Taizan Fukun Ritual. He almost agrees to cooperate with them when Kon appears and talks him out of trusting such shady people. She assures him that if he is Yakou's reincarnation, he will find a way to revive her himself. Meanwhile, Douman and Jin-sensei attack the Onmyo Agency. Miyachi fights against Douman while Jin-sensei runs into Kagami. Touji, Suzuka, and Kyouko also move in to try finding Harutora. | | | |
| 23 | "to The DarkSky -Onmyou-"
"tū Za Dākusukai Onmyō" (to The DarkSky -陰陽-) | March 19, 2014 (2014-03-19) |
| A flashback reveals how Tenma single handedly infiltrated the Onmyo Agency and broke the seal on the Raven Coat. He's aided by a magic spider, one of the spells his mother developed. Daizen Amami is shown to still be alive, possibly the one controlling the spider. Jin-sensei easily defeats Kagami. Touji retrieves Harutora from Chief Kurahashi and Yashamaru. They meet up with Suzuka and Kyouko outside. Tenma appears with the Raven Coat and they all manage to get away from the Onmyo Agency. Tenma relays that Suzu has offered assistance with the Taizan Fukun Ritual if Harutora chooses to do it to which he says he will. Zenjiro and Jin-sensei appear, after hearing their plan. Zenjiro plans on stopping them from using forbidden magic. Kyouko manages to slip into a star-reading state for the first time and tells them that she still sees Natsume's stars, and that she's waiting for Harutora. Harutora, Suzuka, and Touji get away to find Natsume. | | | |
| 24 | "to The DarkSky -Calling the Dead (Tama Night Crawling)-"
"tū Za Dākusukai Tamayobai" (to The DarkSky -魂呼(たまよばい)-) | March 26, 2014 (2014-03-26) |
| Yakou's memories of meeting Kon (Hishamaru) are shown. Presently, Harutora continues on by himself to retrieve Natsume's body. Kagami intercepts him, calling out Shaver to fight as well. He stabs Kon and Harutora rushes to protect her. In the process, his left eye gets slashed and is almost killed. Enraged, Kon decides to release the seal on her to access her full power. She transforms into a grown version of herself (i.e., Hishamaru) and Kakugyouki appears. They fight off Kagami and Shaver and rescue Harutora, showing their loyalty to him. The three continue on and find Natsume, then meeting up with Suzu to perform the Taizan Fukun Ritual. Elsewhere, Jin has Ashiya Douman become his familiar. Harutora's friends also wait to hear from him, receiving only a vague phone call from Suzu saying that the ritual "kind of" worked. Harutora is shown with Natsume again, just long enough for her to repeat that she loves him and for him to kiss her. She supposedly drifts off, with Harutora promising he'll see her again before departing to the sunrise with Hishamaru and Kakugyouki following him as his loyal subjects. | | | |

## Reception

In Anime News Network's Fall 2013 Anime Preview Guide, reviewers Rebecca Silverman and Theron Martin gave the series an initial rating of 2 out of 5 stars, while reviewers Carlo Santos and Carl Kimlinger gave the series an initial rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars. Martin commented that "the artistic effort is wholly unimpressive beyond the yukata that Hokuto wears and the CG creations stand out too starkly against the regular animation. Director Takaomki Kanasaki is quite capable of producing fun, stylish fare (as he proved with *Is This a Zombie?*), but this definitely does not qualify. Only some decent early character development saves this one from the garbage pile," while Santos gave a slightly more positive review, stating that "*Tokyo Ravens* is nothing special, but it isn't horrible, either. This supernatural adventure series employs all the usual trappings of the genre, but does so without making a mess of the story or throwing too many ideas in. In fact, it even spends a good amount of time on the characters' day-to-day lives, instead of rushing them into the action." Silverman praised the series' art and character designs, as well as the series' use of both 2D and 3D CGI graphics, but concludes that "right now it feels like a hodgepodge of ideas that hasn't quite gotten itself grounded yet," while Kimlinger criticized the series' poor start and use of clichés, stating that "watching *Tokyo Ravens* is probably the closest you'll get to experiencing precognition. In a show that gets the desired effect from its tropes, that wouldn't be a problem. But *Ravens* only does its tropes half-right."

### China ban

On June 12, 2015, the Chinese Ministry of Culture listed *Tokyo Ravens* among 38 anime and manga titles banned in China.

title: Woodworth House

abstract: The Woodworth House, also known as the Old Oaken Bucket Homestead, is a historic house at 47 Old Oaken Bucket Road in Scituate, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this house was built c. 1675, and is now an ell on the main house, a Cape style structure built in 1826. The house is most notable for its association with Samuel Woodworth, who in 1817 wrote the poem "The Old Oaken Bucket" about an old well on this property. The football trophy the Old Oaken Bucket, which is contested for annually by Indiana University and Purdue University, was inspired by the poem and the song crafted from the poem. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

# Wheat Street Baptist Church

**Wheat Street Baptist Church** is a historic black Baptist church located in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1869, the current building was constructed in 1921 and is located adjacent to the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park. The church is notable for the role it played in the Civil Rights Movement, especially under the leadership of William Holmes Borders, who served as pastor of the church from 1937 to 1988.

## History

The church was founded in 1869 by members of First Baptist Church in Atlanta (now known as Friendship Baptist Church) who wanted a place of worship closer to where they lived. Seven members founded **Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church** on Howell Street, originally holding service under a bush arbor. Andrew Jackson would serve as the church's first pastor, a position he would hold until 1874. The church would relocate several times before moving to its present location on Auburn Avenue (at the time known as Wheat Street, hence the present name). In 1881, the church played a role in the Atlanta washerwomen strike, as a meeting of over 500 strikers was held in the church. In 1894, the Butler Street YMCA was formed in the basement of the church building. From 1898 to 1928, P. James Bryant served as the church's pastor.

The current building was built in August 1921 after the previous building was destroyed in the Great Atlanta fire of 1917. In 1932, Wheat Street hosted a meeting of the NAACP. In 1937, William Holmes Borders became the church pastor, a position he would hold until 1988. Borders would become a prominent activist in the civil rights movement, influencing a young Martin Luther King Jr. King would often attend sermons held by Borders, and Borders's wife had been King's English teacher.

Wheat Street is notable for its community outreach programs. On March 7, 1956, it became one of the first churches in the United States, and the first black church, to sponsor a federal credit union. The church also maintains a charitable foundation and housing ministry, and in 1999 held over $33 million worth of real estate, making it one of the richest black churches in the United States.

# National high school drill team championships

The **National High School Drill Team Championships** is a Drill Team Competition, held in Daytona Beach, Florida, in the month of May each year at the ocean center. The Drill teams from across the nation converge to compete in both the Master's and the Challenge level competitions. This event is currently the largest centralized drill team event. The company which runs the competition is Sports Network International (SNI), which hosts football and other Junior ROTC events as well. Although it has been held since 1982, it only became an official when the Army Cadet Command became the sponsor in 1988.

## History

The National High School Drill Team Championships began in 1982 by Bill Squires, a Drill Team Instructor of Fort Knox High School in Fort Knox, Kentucky. He traveled to Florida to observe quality of other athletic competition, from Sports Network International (SNI). The first competition was then held in Orlando, Florida, in 1983 with invited teams. Over the early years, it was then spread about the Nationals to the teams across the United States. As the number of team members increased, the competition got expanded even bigger, and more expert teams in the United States worked hard, in order to participate in the Nationals.

## Recognition

After spending four years in Orlando, the National Team moved out to their home in Daytona Beach, Florida in 1986. Ever since the move to Daytona Beach, The National High School Drill Team Championships event has been completely filled up every year, while in Online every team slot is opened. In October 1987, SNI made the publication called IDR (Infantry Drill Regulation), through the sponsorship of Embry-Riddle. This time period is distributed to over 2,500 **JROTC** and non-affiliated drill teams throughout the world. IDR contains big highlights and statistics, including interviews of excellent drill teams and cadets. SNI continued the commitment to IDR, ensuring every JROTC unit will keep continuing to receive periodical featuring in the state of competition drills and ceremonies.

## Promotion

"The Nationals" quickly became word within the entire drill community through their fame. In the fall of 1988, SNI got contacted by the U.S. Army Cadet Command through the possibility of collaborating themselves as the sole military sponsor of the now-famous drill competition. Within the NHSDTC goals being strongly rooted in the place of allowing each Cadet to "be the best they can be", the marriage is a natural. The Cadet Command then soon became the event's main primary sponsor. This has led to several long projects, most notably remain the sending of educational and instructional videotapes, and the start of the National Capital Drill Classic in Washington, DC (a regional Drill event that began in 1992).

## Competition

On May 3, 2002, the MCJROTC cadets of Kubasaki High School in Okinawa, Japan achieved the Challenge Level Armed Division title at the 20th annual National High School Drill Team Championships in Daytona Beach, Florida. One of the students at Kubasaki High School, who is a Junior and a Cadet major, quoted "We're not used to losing,", who is also an executive officer of the Kubasaki Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps unit. With those words in mind, the MCJROTC Cadets of Kubasaki High School train themselves to prepare the 2002 National High School Drill Team Championships. The Dragons then defeated 46 schools from 34 states, with Puerto Rico and Japan getting to the finals to win the Challenge Level Armed Division title for the 20th annual championship at Daytona Beach, Florida. Japan ended up being the winner, and the team came home with a national championship, and multiple collection of trophies, putting them in three out of the competition's four events. The Dragons took top honor's in regular drills while also doing inspection, and the team took third place in **Color Guard** competition.

## Plan

The Nationals are connected with many different groups that help in the production of the event every year. These groups include **The Marine Corps League**, the **USMC Delayed Entry Program** (DEPP) recruits, and other Daytona Beach area military organizations being retired. In 1997, the Nationals will feature an expansion schedule that will allow a big competition field that will make the event better and entertaining. It will also include a single day, Challenge Level drill competition immediately after the two-day master's Level competition that will schedule the following day. This will provide a bigger number of schools to also participate in the event, while also keeping the amount of schools who would like to participate on attending but can't be due to space limitations at a minimum. The Western Division of the NHSDTC continues to be a long-term goal of SNI. With the scheduled expansion in 1997, the Western Division expansion is expected in 2000 as the start date.

## Present Day

Today, many of the members continue to increase their enrollment through the NHSDTC Program, and people have been so overly positive on this Program, they decided to support their causes even more than in the past years. As people keep staying in the teams, more people end up feeling happy and cheerful than they were before. The NHSDTC went to multiple events and locations and had some wins and losses over time. Many of the parent's would agree that this is for the best on their children, since teaches them the effort of improving your skills through hard work, and to end up reaching their full potential when the time is right. They support not just their team, but to serve their duty to their nation under good cause.

The program began as a project of The Quixote Center, a non-sectarian non-profit collective in College Park, Maryland. It later became a separately incorporated non-profit for tax reasons. The program's mission is the promotion of interfaith understanding and religious dialog in the public square. *Interfaith Voices* was previously called *Faith Matters*. However, due to a trademark dispute, the name was changed. *Faith Matters* was the name of a program produced by Reverend Dr. Leith Anderson.

*Interfaith Voices* has had six producers since it began. Among them are Peter B. Collins, who now owns KRXA-AM in Monterey, California; Paul Woodhull, executive producer of The Bill Press Show; Linda Rabben, University of Maryland; Josephine Reed, host of WPFW-FM radio show On The Margin and a vice president for programming for XM Satellite Radio; John E.

title: Maum

abstract: An Mám is a small Gaeltacht village and its surrounding lands in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland.

# Maum

**An Mám** (anglicized as **Maum**, or sometimes **Maam**) is a small Gaeltacht village and its surrounding lands in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland.

## Name

An Mám is Irish for "the pass" and as this is a Gaeltacht (principally Irish-speaking) area, the area's name formally exists only in Irish - the anglicised form has no official standing, although it has been in use for centuries, too.

## Location and access

The village is located at the southern end of the Maam Valley, where it comes to Lough Corrib; the other end lies at Leenaun on Killary Harbour. The settlement lies at an altitude of around 20 metres, between where the main river of the southern two thirds of the valley, *Joyce's River*, is captured by the larger Abhainn Béal Átha na mBreac (Bealnabrack River) and where the Failmore River joins that river's mouth at the northern end of the lake. It sits at the edge of a mountainous area, the principal part of which forms the Maumturk or Maamturk Mountains.

An Mám lies north of Maam Cross, an important crossroads from which the main road serving the settlement, and providing a secondary route through the Maam Valley to Leenaun, the R336, comes, splitting off from the R59 Galway to Clifden road. Maam Bridge, built in 1823, takes the R336 across the Bealnabrack River.

## History

This area formed part of the wider Joyce Country, named for a key family grouping, the Joy family, originally from Wales, which dominated the region for centuries.

## Features

Historically there was a castle in the area, and from the 19th century, a small courthouse (closed in 2004) and a post office. Alexander Nimmo built an inn in 1820 at the eastern end of Maam Bridge, and this later became the Maum Hotel, owned by the family of Lord Leitrim for many years; it now operates as Keane's Pub.

The area has several B&B establishments, and there is a hotel complex and service station at Maam Cross. Many community facilities are provided from Leenaun. There is free fishing in the river and the nearer parts of the lake, and a jetty was built by Maam Bridge to facilitate angling access.
