"Anime-ted Japan ; Japanese culture vibrates with the energy of anime, an art form that's giving American pop culture a run for its money"  by Gloria Goodale

• Anime - Animation that is produced in Japan.  It is most often in the form of television or feature length films.
• Anime is known for its simplistic nature that puts much of the focus on story-telling, which the Japanese value.
• Anime is widely popular in Japan, with fans ranging from children to the elderly.
• Manga - comparable to a comic book, but drawn with the distinct style of anime.
• Manga became popular after WWII, when artists channeled post-war anxiety into pictographs, which became very popular.  
• One of the most well-known creator of this artform is Hayao Miyazaki, whom is known for films such as "Spirited Away" and "Princess Mononoke".
• Many anime deal with themes such as good versus evil, technology versus nature, and the very meaning of life.
• There is a museum in Tokyo dedicated to Hayao Miyazaki's studio Studio Ghibli.

Battles of World War 1

Battle of the Marne

• The German's had planned to conquer France
• The Germans were planning on doing a wheeling movement with its northern wing armies through central Belgium then they would enter France
• This would let them turn towards the English Channel which would allow them to cut off the French retreat
• This would allow the German army to trap the French army and allow them to capture Paris
• This plan had failed because of the advancement of the British Expeditionary Force, which caused the German's to retreat.

Battle of Verdun

• Germans thought the only way they could win was by attacking west
• Decided they were going to attack a French position. Then wait as the French would exhaust all their troops and resources.
• This would cause the French to exit and leave the British alone on the Western Front, which the German's would then attack with their submarine blockade

corruption post #7

What did George Ryan really do?  he faced and denied federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, mail and tax fraud, and lying to the authorities to cover up those crimes.  Ryan was charged with granting lucrative state contracts and leases to old friends.  in return he received gifts from them mostly cash and luxury vacation's.  he and his family gained a total of 167,000 dollars.  When questioned by authorites Ryan covered it up and denied the accusations that he was being questioned about.  The fact that ryan was one of many that have been charged with corruption charges is just unbelevible.

Holocaust interview #6

Part A- I Interviewed Mr. Frieler who is a teacher at hinsdale central and also works at the Illinoise Holocaust Museum. He is a realiable source because he works at the museum for a long time and is also a History teacher. I interviewd him last Thursday in person.

Part B- Q- Did the Jewish people do something for this to happen to them?
Answere- They didn't do anything but they were only 1% of the german population, they were blammed for the outcome in the first world war I. They did this because they didn't have anyone else to blame and they were vaunerable.

Q- How did Adolf Hitlar get the Jewish people so isolated?
A- First Adolf was ruling by himself at that point so he made up all the descions. He took babysteps first making them wear the star of david then putting them in Ghettos to boycotting their businesses.

Q- How did they decide if a Jewish person was only half jewish or if they married a Women who wasnt jewish and he changed his religion
A- Through the Nuremberg Law which defined who a jew was.

Other useful Information

• Some German people were for this law but maybe didnt agree with killing the jewish people but thought it was good putting them in ghettos isolating them
• At Concentration camps there would also be other people then jewish people like homosexuals, people who spoke out against Adolf they had different signs for them unlike the star of david
• Most people just didn't speak up against Adolf because they didn't want anything happing to them
• Most people thought it was fine intill it was happening to them

The Assassins Decline.

"The Templars and the Assassins: The Militia of Heaven" Page 139, Syrian Assassins after Sinan


• The Syrian and Persian assassins had to rely more on Alamut after the death of Sinan, which is ironic because Sinan didnt consider him self allied with Alamut, but allied with Assassins, and sometimes Alamut even hated Sinan and sent assassins agaisnt him.

• Franks tried to negotiate with the Assassins by bringing valuable gifts. The Assassins were honored by the Franks having gifts, but the Assassins would only negoitate at Alamut, their main headquaters.

• In 1230, the Assassins aided the Hopsitallers, another order, in millitary efforts agaisnt the papacy. Which is ironic because later the Assassins would be attacked by the Hospitallers and forced to pay an annual tribute to them.

• 1256, Alamut fell to the Mongolians. The Syrian Assassins were ended and all the remained were small sources of Nizaris and the Persian Assassins. The Persian Assassins were now more independent and had no allies.

• By 1273 The small traces of Nizaris in Syria were wiped out, and all Assassin fortresses were under either Mongol, Baybar, or Hospitaller control.


Vocab:
Sinan - The leader of the Syrian and Persian Assassins/Nizaris for many years.
Baybars -  Militiary and Government group that were enemies of the Syrian Assassins

Japan Interview

For my project, I interviewed Professor Lawrence, whom works here at Hinsdale Central as the East Asian Studies teacher.  He is a reliable source for information, because his job is to teach about the culture and history of Asian countries like Japan and China.  I asked him a few questions before school on Thursday, May 3rd in his classroom.

What are some of the observed practices in the Shinto religion?
He said that very few people in Japan consider themselves to fall under a specific religion.  Many mix traditions of it with that of Buddhism, so many traditions are mixed, but there exists shrines for both of them.  They look very similar, but inside a Buddhist shrine, you will find things pertaining to the worship of Buddha, but in a Shinto shrine, you will find things pertaining to the worship of different creatures or individuals.

What types of foods are eaten in Japan?
What he said is that since Japan is an island nation, they rely a lot on fishing as a source of food, but there are a lot of different things that are commonly consumed there.  Some specific examples of this are Tempura, Noodles, Ramen, Sushi, Sashimi, and Yakituri.

Japan produces a lot of animation.  Has this had an effect on the culture over there?
He said that it not only has had a big impact in Japan, but it has had an impact all over the world.  They have produced many globally popular shows such as Hello Kitty, Pokemon, and Naruto, and they have many famous producers of such animation, such as Studio Ghibli.

Sparta Interview

I interviewed a very well known Greece researching professor and he recommeneded me to read two of his book reviews and i did. and the information i pulled out is this. In 450 B.C the spartans showed one of the first rapid miltary reforms by including the perioikoi in their regiments to boost numbers and ensure perioikic loyalty. Spartan mothers had to sacrifice their sons for the state. It also said that women were not looked down upon in the spartan society like he majority of people think but the exact opposite, spartan wpmen were actually respected.

Interview

I interviewed Professor Elihu Rose.  Prof. Rose served in the USAF not long after WWII and is now a professor, mostly lecturing, at Yale, West Point Army Academy, and the US Naval Academy.I interviewed him via email.
The latest correspondence was on 4/26/12.

Questions I asked him:
How was the gas captured and able to reset the bolt and chamber the next round, making the guns semi/fully automatic?
How did the Navy evolve and how did it impact the war, especially the war in the Pacific?
When exactly did planes evolve into jet fighters?  And how did this change the tactics used by pilots?  How much of an advantage did a jet have in a dog fight over a plane with a propeller?

What were some communication technologies developed in WWII?

Prof. Rose responded to these questions with recomendations of a couple of books.
