One of the enjoyments of visiting Japan is the excellent beer! Kirin is only one of many sorts and the variety is staggering!
Meiji Shrine (明治神宮 Meiji Jingū?), located in Shibuya, Tokyo, is the Shinto shrine that is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shōken.[1] When Emperor Meiji died in 1912 and Empress Shōken in 1914, the Japanese people wished to pay their respects to the two influential Japanese figures. It was for this reason that Meiji Shrine was constructed and their souls enshrined on November 1, 1920.[2]
After the emperor's death in 1912, the Japanese Diet passed a resolution to commemorate his role in the Meiji Restoration. An iris garden in an area of Tokyo where Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken had been known to visit was chosen as the building's location. Construction began in 1915, and the shrine was built in the traditional Nagarezukuri style and is made up primarily of Japanese cypress and copper. It was formally dedicated in 1920, completed in 1921, and its grounds officially finished by 1926.[3]
The original building was destroyed during the Tokyo air raids of World War II. The present iteration of the shrine was funded through a public fund raising effort and completed in October, 1958.[4]
Meiji Shrine was brought into the flow of current events with the 2009 visit of United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. After arriving in Tokyo on her first foreign trip representing the newly elected President Barack Obama, she made her way to this shrine in advance of meetings with Japan's leaders to show her "respect toward history and the culture of Japan." [5]
Meiji Shrine is located in a forest that covers an area of 700,000 square-meters (about 175 acres). This area is covered by an evergreen forest that consists of 120,000 trees of 365 different species, which were donated by people from all parts of Japan when the shrine was established. The forest is visited by many people both as a spiritual home of the people and as a recreation and relaxation area in the center of Tokyo.[2] The shrine itself is comprised of two major areas:
[edit]Naien
The Naien is the inner precinct, which is centered on the shrine buildings and includes a treasure museum that houses articles of the Emperor and Empress. The treasure museum is built in the Azekurazukuri style.
[edit]Gaien
The Gaien is the outer precinct, which includes the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery that houses a collection of 80 large murals illustrative of the events in the lives of the Emperor and his consort. It also includes a variety of sports facilities, including the National Stadium, and is seen as the center of Japanese sports. It also includes the Meiji Memorial Hall, which was originally used for governmental meetings, including discussions surrounding the drafting of the Meiji Constitution in the late 19th century. Today it is used for Shinto weddings.
A banner flew over Giants Stadium that read, "Don't Trust Gore" and it gave away a website address which aims to debate those who think global warming is real and those who don't. The URL was wrong. That plane came down and another went up, the second plane was towing a pro-Gore banner with the url draftgore.org.
Also known as the Belgian Draught, Belgian Draft, Brabancon (Brabant) and Belgian Heavy draft. Until the early 1900s there were three similar yet distinct types of Belgian breeds. The "Big Horse of the Dendre", the "Colossal Horse of Mehaigne" and the "Grey Horse of Nivelles". Over time, these horses were bred together and the final result is the Belgian of today. - History of the Breed
The Belgian draft horse is one of the oldest of the draft horse breeds. The Brabant horse is quite possibly connected directly to the Forest horse, one of the four original types of horses.

During the 20th century, men of a certain age were required to register with the federal government for Selective (military) Service, known as the "draft". When that was done, the government issued what people called a draft card, as seen here.
From my Ukrainian archive .Military draft in small Ukrainian village.
It was the third year of our pointless presence in Afghanistan.Senseless presence for which we paid the price: 13 thousand young lives (official info).But we suspected, we lost more.
As I recall, nobody laughed among those people-friends and relatives-who came to say" bye" to young man and wish him luck,nobody even smiled and women's eyes were full of tears.
