Convoy HG 73

On 20 September the destroyers Duncan and Farndale departed, but were replaced by destroyer Wild Swan.

Also on 20 September U-124 made contact, but this proved to be a southbound convoy, OG 74. Unaware of this, BdU ordered U-201 to join her and over the next two days and nights both U-boats attacked OG 74, succeeding in sinking five ships, though both received damage and depleted their store of torpedoes.

Meanwhile, HG 73 was attacked by the Italian boats, though without success: On the night of 21/22 September Vimy made a promising attack on a contact, and was later credited with the destruction of Malaspina, though it was later suggested this attack had been on Torelli, which survived, but was badly damaged and forced to return to base.

On 22 September the two destroyers, Vimy and Wild Swan, left the escort, replaced by destroyer Highlander.

On 23 September Da Vinci made contact, and shadowed the convoy throughout the day, but was unable to make an attack.

On 24 September a Condor spotted the convoy and reported three ships on fire, though British records show no ships hit. BdU diverted two more U-boats (U-203 and U-205) to the attack from France; these arrived over the next two days .

On 25 September U-124 made contact in heavy seas and fired on a ship identified as a cruiser; this may have been Springbank, but no hits were achieved, and no attack was noticed by any Allied ship. That night U-203 joined, and both U-boats attacked, scoring several hits. Just after midnight U-203 sank Avoceta and Varengberg, but came under attack from the corvette Larkspur. A few hours later U-124 sank Cortes and Petrel. The coaster, Lapwing, stopped to pick up survivors from these two ships, but was herself torpedoed just before dawn. Of the 109 men on these three ships only 18 men survived, reaching land after a two-week voyage in an open lifeboat.

On 26 September, Highlander departed from the escort, while U-124 and U-203 continued to shadow. U-201 and U-205 also joined, but during the day U-205 was attacked by an Allied aircraft; she was damaged and forced to return to base.


Convoy HG 73

During the night of 26/27 September the three U-boats in contact attacked again; just before midnight U-124 sank Siremalm, while at 2am U-201 torpedoed and sank Cervantes and torpedoed Springbank. Springbanks survivors were taken off and Jasmine sank Springbank with gunfire rather than leave her as a hazard.

During 27 September the three boats continued to shadow, and that night U-201 made a final attack, sinking Margareta; neither U-124 nor U-203 were able to attack again.

With this the pursuing U-boats were obliged to abandon the operation, and return to base to re-arm. HG 73 was left to continue without further incident, arriving at Liverpool on 1 October.

Aftermath

Despite the best efforts of the escort force, of the 25 ships that departed Gibraltar nine were lost, and one escort vessel, making this the worst loss of any HG convoy, and one of the worst of the entire Atlantic campaign. Of the 117 convoys of the HG series run during the three years between September 1939 and September 1942, thirteen (just over one in ten) were attacked: Of the 2994 ships conveyed, 55 (approximately one in twenty) were lost; 39 to attacks on convoys, such as this one, and a further 16 losses out of convoy.

The operation was a victory for the attacking forces, though the successes claimed were inflated considerably. The three U-boat commanders were credited with sinking 15 ships, of 91,000 GRT, while the three ships spotted sinking on 24 September were credited to Malaspina, which had failed to return, and was thus unable to report otherwise. The actual tonnage of the nine ships sunk was 25,800 GRT; the discrepancy is attributable to the generally smaller coasters of the Gibraltar route being misidentified as larger, ocean-going freighters. It was, however, the high point of Axis success on the Gibraltar route; just two months later the losses incurred attacking HG 76 forced BdU to abandon operations here in favour of softer targets elsewhere.

House of Petre and Mile Želčevski

The House of Petre and Mile Želčevski is a historical house in Galičnik that is listed as Cultural heritage of North Macedonia. It is in ownership of one branch of the families of Želčevski and Graorkovski.

History of the family

The family of Želčevski stems from the family of Ognenovci. From Ognenovci, they share roots with the families of Karadakovci, Luzevci, Marevci, Ževairovci, Bundalevci, Venovci, Šotarovci, Bislimovci and Tripunovci.

Notable members of the family

  * Mile Želčeski (1903-1986) ― migrant worker living in Cairo, Egypt. During an official visit of the Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito in Egypt, he used to be Tito's translator from Arabic to Serbo-Croatian and vice versa.
  * Risto Želčeski ― the first Macedonian graduate of economics at the Sorbonne Faculty.

History and characteristics of the house

The house of the Cairo migrant workers Petre and Mile Želčeski was built in 1909 by their father Trpko. The building is a stone cube that sprouts from the steep terrain. The house basically has dimensions of 13 × 10.5 m and was developed in height of three floors, using the terrain configuration to fit the basement, ground floor and first floor. Thus, four entrances were created, two of which were made of stone monumental portals. In a constructive sense, the building is primarily built of load-bearing stone walls (thickness of 90 cm), partially bondruk construction with bolme walls (thickness of 15 cm), wooden mezzanine and ceiling wooden construction. In the house there is a clear differentiation in the functional sense of the premises. In the basement there are two grocery stores - one shop for each brother, one storeroom and wooden stairs on the ground floor. Considering that the building is built to be inhabited by two brothers with their families on the ground floor and the first floor has the following rooms: of both families, on the first floor there are two bedrooms, a guest house, a small chapel and the most impressive thing is the large common balcony 4 × 13 m with two entrances and 12 windows. On the facade around the whole loggia are placed wooden planks - curtains that correspond to the stone.

Convolvulus recurvatus

Convolvulus recurvatus is a herb in the family Convolvulaceae.

The perennial herb with a low trailing habit. It blooms between October and August producing pink-white flowers.

It is found on floodplains, along drainage lines and in other low-lying areas in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia where it grows in sandy-loamy soils.


Centro Habitat Mediterraneo

The Centro Habitat Mediterraneo (CHM; Italian for "Center for Mediterranean Habitat") is an oasis of 20 hectares (49 acres) on the coast near Rome (Italy), included in the Litorale Romano State Nature Reserve and managed by the Italian Bird Protection League (LIPU).

History

In the 1990s, the area of the Ostia Seaplane Base was occupied by an open landfill site, known for being the scene of the murder of Pier Paolo Pasolini on November 2, 1975.
In 1995 the area caught the attention of an Australian company, which proposed the construction of an oceanarium that would irreparably alter the ecosystem of the mouth of the Tiber. To oppose this proposal, the Ostia delegation of the Italian Bird Protection League (LIPU) proposed the creation of a nature reserve and – after a heartfelt campaign to collect signatures within the XIII Circoscrizione (today the Municipio X) – the project was approved; after the reclamation of the area, the oasis opened in 2001. This was also accompanied by the inauguration of the nearby Marina of Rome, part of a project for the redevelopment of the seaplane base area.

The 20 hectares of greenery, with an artificial pond in the center, are a refuge and a stopping place for various species of animals (mainly birds) and attract professional photographers and birdwatchers from all over the world. Inside the oasis there is the "Pier Paolo Pasolini" Literary Park, inaugurated on November 2, 2005, where a concrete sculpture was erected to commemorate the well-known Italian writer and director. The sculpture, the work of Mario Rosati, was damaged in 2016 by some vandals but was restored over the following year.
In 2016 a bunker dating back to World War II, probably for anti-aircraft use, was unearthed in the oasis.

Flora

The flora is typical of the maquis shrubland, with Italian buckthorn, bay laurel, giant cane, strawberry tree, phillyrea, sea daffodil, broom, rushes, evergreen oak, lentisk, silver poplar, rosemary, blackberry, willow, cork oak, tamarisk.

Fauna

Metro Bratislava

The Bratislava Metro (Slovak: Bratislavské metro) was intended to be built in Bratislava, Slovakia (then Czechoslovakia). In 1989, shortly after construction works began, the project came to a halt and has not been pursued since.

According to the metro plans, two lines were proposed. The "blue line" (Line A) was going to reach from Devínska Nová Ves in the North West of Bratislava through the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant and the city center to the station Rača in the North East. The "red line" (Line B) was supposed to start in Petržalka in the South, proceed through the city center where both lines would meet and eventually lead to the airport Letisko Milana Rastislava Štefánika in the East of Bratislava.

Construction works, which began in 1989, ended with the Velvet Revolution in former Czechoslovakia. Afterwards, financial issues prevented the continuation of the metro plans. Until 2003, several attempts at resuming those plans were made, none of which were successful. Instead, the city is now focussing on expanding its already existing tram network.

On about the same path as intended for the metro in Petržalka, a tram line is now under construction. The first phase, from Šafárikovo square to the station Jungmannova across the rebuilt Starý most was built between 2013 and 2016, and opened on 8 July 2016.

Chen Yuanyuan

In this Chinese name, the family name is Chen.

Chen Yuanyuan (1624–1681)Yiji who lived during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. She was the concubine of Wu Sangui, the Ming dynasty general who surrendered Shanhai Pass to the Manchu-led Qing dynasty, and later rebelled in the Revolt of the Three Feudatories. Chen's life and relationship to Wu later became the subject of a number of popular stories and legends, many of them focusing on her supposed role in Wu's fateful decision to defect to the Qing, thereby sealing the fate of the Ming dynasty.

In one story popularized during the Kangxi era, when the peasant Li Zicheng rebelled against the Ming dynasty, he captured Chen Yuanyuan. This enraged Wu Sangui and made him side with the Qing dynasty to crush Li Zicheng's forces.

Biography

Chen Yuanyuan was born to a peasant family in Jiangsu province, and on the death of her father, she became a Yiji. Chen became a leading figure in the Suzhou kunqu scene.Hongniang in Romance of the Western Chamber.The Story of the Red Plum, sung in the yiyangqiang style.Chongzhen Emperor's concubines. She was then either purchased for Wu Sangui by his father,

After failing to deter Wu Sangui's rebellion, Chen asked General Ma Bao to escort her and her son with Wu Sangui, Wu Qihua, to what is now known as the Majia Zhai village in Guizhou, where they would hide amongst the ethnic minorities who were hostile to Qing rule.

In April 1644, the rebel army of Li Zicheng captured the Ming capital of Beijing, and the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian committed suicide. Knowing that Wu Sangui's formidable army at Ningyuan posed a serious threat, Li immediately made overtures to gain Wu's allegiance. Li sent two letters to Wu, including one in the name of Wu's father, then held captive in Beijing. Before Wu Sangui could respond, he received word that his entire household had been slaughtered.Dorgon, indicating his willingness to combine forces to oust the rebels from Beijing, thus setting the stage for the Qing conquest of Ming.

In popular lore, however, Chen Yuanyuan takes a more dramatic and romanticized role in these pivotal events. According to stories that emerged in the Kangxi era, Wu Sangui's motivation for joining forces with the Qing to attack Li Zicheng was that Li had abducted and (by some accounts) raped Chen, Wu's beloved concubine. This version of the tale was made famous by Wu Weiye's qu, the Song of Yuanyuan:

In that time when the emperor abandoned the human world,
Wu crushed the enemy and captured the capital, bearing down from Jade Pass.
The six armies, wailing and grieving, were uniformly clad in the white of mourning,
One wave of headgear-lifting anger propelled him, all for the sake of the fair-faced one.
The fair-faced one, drifting, and fallen, was not what I longed for.
The offending bandits, smote by heaven, wallowed in wanton pleasures.
Lightning swept the Yellow Turbans, the Black Mountain troops were quelled.
Having wailed for ruler and kin, I met her again.

— Wu Weiye, excerpt from Song of Yuanyuan

Although such stories tying the downfall of the dynasty to the relationship between Wu and Chen proved popular, some historians regard them as products of popular fiction.Kunming after Wu Sangui's failed rebellion against the Qing.

Irish kinship

Irish kinship is a system of kinship terminology (descended from the original Celtic practices) which shows a bifurcate collateral pattern. This system is used by a minority of people living in the Gaeltacht regions of Ireland. Irish kinship terminology varies from English kinship as it focuses on gender and generation,

Terminology

Irish kinship is limited to a small number of words of Gaelic origin used in identifying relatives:

  * Máthair ('mother')
  * Athair ('father')
  * Mac ('son')
  * Iníon ('daughter')
  * Deartháir ('brother')
  * Deirfiúr ('sister')
  * Aintín ('aunt')
  * Uncail ('uncle')
  * Nia ('nephew')
  * Neacht ('niece')
  * Seanmháthair ('grandmother')
  * Seanathair ('grandfather')
  * Garmhac ('grandson')
  * Gariníon ('granddaughter')
  * Col Ceathar ('cousin')

Use of terminology

A majority of the terms used in the kinship system are similar to the English kinship system, but the terms for aunt, uncle, nephew, niece and cousin have a far vaguer and different use. These terms, however, vary in degree of use as this system is largely confined to the Gaeltacht regions, and hence not widely used among other members of Irish society.

Aintin and Uncail, Nia and Neacht


Irish kinship

Aintin and Uncail, Nia and Neacht

Aintin is the word for "aunt" and uncail for "uncle" but in the Irish kinship system aunt and uncle have a wider definition; in common kinship an aunt or uncle is the sister or brother of either the mother or the father. However, in Irish kinship, Aintin and Uncail are used for not only the siblings of the parents, but as well for any relative whose age is of a great distance from the child. This effectively means the cousin of a parent is called an aunt or uncle, while those who are aged or in their senior years (aunts or uncles of a parent, or cousins of a grandparent) are termed Seanaintin and Seanuncail (great aunt and great uncle). Using this system, the children of cousins in a person’s own generation (however distant) are called nephews and nieces, using the terms Nia and Neacht.Garnia (great-nephew) or Garneacht (great-niece).

Col Gaolta

Col Gaolta is a word for cousin; in the Irish kinship system, this word is used for all relatives in one's generation or those near your age, except in the case of a brother or a sister. The word actually means related by blood.

Mo Mhuintir

Mo Mhuintir, being Irish for My People, is a vague term used for relatives people believe they are related to, but do not have enough information to determine how.

The Estonian National Independence Party, or ENIP, (Estonian: Eesti Rahvusliku Sõltumatuse Partei, ERSP), founded on 20 August 1988 in Estonian SSR, was the first non-communist political party established in the former USSR. Founders of the party were nationalist and anti-communist dissidents.

The initiative to establish the Estonian independentist party came from Vello Väärtnõu, the leader of a local Buddhist group. On 30 January 1988 he organized a press conference in Moscow for Western media where he announced plans for the formation of the party, with the aim to restore the fully independent Republic of Estonia as a nation state on the restitution principle. This made the ENIP the most radical or political movement of its day. Väärtnõu and several fellow Buddhists were expelled from the Soviet Union shortly after the press conference. ENIP was officially founded in August 1988 in the village of Pilistvere in central Estonia.

ENIP represented the radical wing of the Estonian independence movement and used "hardline" anti-communist rhetoric, in contrast with the Popular Front that cooperated with pro-reform communists. The party gained a majority during the February 1990 elections of the Congress of Estonia. After Estonia regained independence in 1991, ENIP was part of the centre-right government from 1992–1995, and later merged with Pro Patria to form the Pro Patria Union, a national-conservative party.

Monsteca Corral

Monsteca Corral is a fast-paced action strategy game for WiiWare,Onteca, an independent game developer based in Liverpool, UK. The object of the game is to engage in a variety of games and scenarios, incorporating a growth/rearing element, design/construction, and multiplayer combat in a world populated by very large lifeforms: monsters and a race of robots.

Music

The in-game sounds of Monsteca Corral feature interactive music and harmonious FX directly linked to gameplay. This bespoke sound system is made up of simple tones which change melody and scale dependent on player activity and was designed for Monsteca by the experimental composer Joe McLaughlin (of the Liverpool electronic rock ensemble, Kling Klang).

Plot

The storyline involves many colourful characters, monsters and robots, which lived side by side in general disharmony. Completely unable to work as a team - in fact "work" and "team" were not in the monsters’ vocabulary - the monsters roamed free within their habitats and occasionally risked being painfully dismembered by other monster species if they strayed too far from home. This was their way of life until a small and mysterious do-gooding alien life form arrived.

This lifeform was to be known as The Maker. The Maker was responsible for making many things, and specifically he made robots. The Maker's own planet was dying and his fellow species were doing nothing about it. Seeing the inevitable destruction, The Maker planned his escape.


Monsteca Corral

After crash-landing on the Monsters’ planet, he made himself a home and, because he was alone, facing a planet populated by monsters, he created a central processing unit chip and implanted it into a robot companion. Following that, he continued to make more of the chips to accommodate those particular robots. The Maker created the robots in the belief that they would assist him, and also help to maintain and improve the environment of the monsters and provide some form of order and structure for the world. Unfortunately, the idea went horribly wrong once The Maker had enabled the robots to construct other units. They then rejected their Maker as it became clear he served no purpose. The robots continued to build and evolve their own civilization; the chip has been passed from CPU to CPU and has now become outdated and damaged, causing the robots to behave more erratically and to harm the creatures with whom they were originally designed to co-habit. The Maker has become increasingly weary and fearful of his own original creation. The Maker now lives a solitary existence hiding in self-imposed exile. He did, however, once save a small Biguana monster from the jaws of a Blind Polar Dog and made him a robot tail to replace his half-eaten, one knowing that for Biguana's balance is very important to their survival. It is now clear that The Maker feels responsible for the robots' behavior and fears he can no longer control their actions.

Gameplay

Monsteca Corral is in a third person strategy format. Within the game there are nine environmental habitats:

  * Arctic
  * Forest
  * Cities
  * Coast
  * Desert
  * Geothermic
  * Mountains
  * Ocean
  * Open Ground

Lifeforms do not live just anywhere on the surface of a planet randomly. Each species occupies a definite set of surroundings, or environment, to which it is adapted. It cannot survive for long outside the limits of that environment because it can no longer obtain what it requires to survive.


Monsteca Corral

Habitats of some species may be very specific. Coral for example, are very picky about their surroundings and prefer water of a particular temperature and chemistry. Other lifeforms such as rats (and humans) can survive in almost any environment. Different species occupy the different habitats, so knowing the habitats will help players to find particular creatures. Keeping a creature in its preferred habitat (or in conditions that reproduce it) will be beneficial to its well-being and health. Lifeforms will have their habitat indicated in the encyclopedia so that players will know where they might find them.

During gameplay, players will have the opportunity to obtain different accomplishments such as a successfully captured monster, a valuable/useful item, new robot parts or tools to improve an existing collection or currency to buy more items.

Characters

The game has a range of nine characters:

Astro maggots are large, flying herbivorous larvae. They can be found resting in all levels. Once an astro maggot has been awoken, there will be a specific length timed response before it becomes impossible for the herder to get their sdompe aboard.

C.P.U. - Central Processing Unit also referred to as 'the boss of the robots'. The robots have succeeded through the passing of the ‘chip’. The C.P.U. controls all of the robots but he is gradually experiencing more breakdowns/crashes, glitches etc., mainly in his logic and understanding of functions. The present C.P.U. is not particularly nice. He proved incompatible with his unit partner and she left him with a second unit daughter who he struggles to relate to, due to her caring unrobotlike nature. The present C.P.U. is responsible for the current anti-monster regime which he believes will advance robitilisation. He has now begun to ‘clean up’ monster populated ‘trouble spots’.

Heavy Bots are the security guards of the robot community. They are large biped robots and they have a significant amount of strength. Following a sentry bot zapping, they will pick up stunned sdompe and take them to monster ‘cages’, if the sdompe have not been rescued by their herd. This will be a timed action trigger function. Heavy bots will appear in levels to add difficulty to gameplay.


Monsteca Corral

The Hovership is a medium-sized transport ship with vertical take-off and landing capabilities. It is mainly used for deployment and retrieval of other robot units. The ship retrieves robots from lakes and goop swamps by lowering down a bungee style ‘mucus rope’. They are equipped with a winch to airlift cargo.

Imposter bot. - Herds of sdompe are often pursued by imposter bots. Imposter bots will merrily follow a herd, cunningly infiltrate and then disperse it. They disguise themselves in an unconvincing way as a sdompe who then infiltrate the herd before startling active sdompe and scattering them across the terrain.

Lifterbots are large powerful units with fork-lifts for hands, equipped with lights to work in darkness of the deep freight halls of the city underground. The lifterbot is generally designed to move and transport cargo. However, more recently the C.P.U. has decided to make them useful in an alternative manner, to seek and transfer back wild or escaped monsters.

Sdompes are a migratory herbivores that live in southern scrubland areas in summer and cross the mountains to northern wetlands for the winter. They enjoy being in wide open ground with small shrubs and fruits to graze on, though they also spend time close to the forest edges where they can be sure to get a good variety of food and nourishment. A herd of sdompe can be significantly large and have been seen to overgraze areas and can be quite destructive in groups of seven or more.

Sentry walkers are bipedal walker bots, programmed mainly for reconnaissance and sentry duties. Sentry bots can be found in all levels. They will only fulfill predetermined tasks and have no AI capability but their programming makes them aggressive in combat. The sentry bot has a good range and speed in open areas and will zap and immobilise individual sdompe, freeze stunning them for a two seconds period. Sentry bots can be stomped by herds of sdompe and can be pushed into lakes/goop swamps where they will sink and need rescue.


Monsteca Corral

Swamp striders are very large herbivores, not known for their physical attractiveness or their winning personalities. They do, however, eat the majority of any vegetation and can cause a lot of damage to crops or forested area. They use their long arms and legs to negotiate wet and unstable terrain and also to dig up roots. They can also wield a healthy kick to robot or sdompe if startled.

Critical response

Reviews for the game have been favorable with IGN rating it 7 out of 10, declaring "This is yet another weird one, Wii fans, but its gameplay foundation works just well enough underneath its hallucinogen-influenced presentation that it edges into thumbs-up territory". Nintendo Life described Monsteca as a "Pikmin-like play that packs a punch" and Sean's Wii World complimented the game's unusual approach, stating "The whole experience immerses you in the game world which resembles an interactive art installation, so complementary is the look and sound".

Chinjusha

a typical Chinjusha seen on a temple complex

In Japan, a chinjusha (鎮守社•鎮社, or tutelary shrine) is a Shinto shrine which enshrines a tutelary kami (鎮守神, chinjugami); that is, a patron spirit that protects a given area, village, building or a Buddhist temple.Ise Shrine. Tutelary shrines are usually very small, but there is a range in size, and the great Hiyoshi Taisha for example is Enryaku-ji's tutelary shrine.temple-shrine (寺社, jisha).chinju-dō, it is the tutelary shrine of a Buddhist temple.architecture.

Chinjugami

Main article: Chinjugami

A chinjugami is the tutelary kami of a specific area or building, as for example a village or a Buddhist temple. The term today is a synonym of ujigami (clan's tutelary ancestor) and ubusuna (産土神, lit. native place kami); however, the three words had originally a different meaning.kami of one's birthplace, chinjugami is the tutelary kami of a given place, highly respected and venerated.

History

Motoyama-ji's chinjū-dō

The frequent presence, even today, of a Shinto shrine near or in a Buddhist temple has its roots in the efforts made by the Japanese to reconcile local kami worship with imported Buddhism. (For details, see article Shinbutsu shūgō.)

One of the first such efforts was made during the Nara period (710–794) with the founding of so-called shrine-temples (jingū-ji), complexes consisting of a shrine dedicated to some kami and of a Buddhist temple.syncretic solution is believed to have its roots in the Chinese qié-lán-shen (garanjin (伽藍神, lit. kami of the garan) in Japanese), tutelary gods of Chinese temples.


Chinjusha

The reason for Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines to be constructed together was the belief that kami, like humans, needed salvation through the power of Buddha.Kami were then thought to be subject to karma and reincarnation like human beings, and early Buddhist stories tell how the task of helping suffering kami was assumed by wandering monks.kami would appear in a dream to the monk, telling him about his suffering.kami's karma through Buddhist rites and the reading of sūtras, the monk would build a temple next to the kami's shrine.Usa, Kyūshū,kami Hachiman was worshiped together with Miroku Bosatsu (Maitreya) at Usa Hachiman-gū. As a result of the creation of shrine-temple complexes, many shrines that had been open-air sites became Buddhist style groupings of buildings.

At the end of the same century, Hachiman was declared to be the Dharma's tutelary kami and, a little later, a bosatsu.jisha), marking an important step ahead in the process of amalgamation of kami worship and Buddhism.Tōdai-ji in Nara was built, within the temple grounds was also erected a shrine for Hachiman, according to the legend because of a wish expressed by the kami himself.kami like Hachiman and built shrines for them.

This tendency to see kami as tutelary deities was strengthened during the Edo period (1603–1868) by the terauke system. Because all shrines were by law owned and managed by a Buddhist temple, many of their kami came to be viewed as the temple's tutelary kami.

As a result, until the Meiji period (1868–1912) the vast majority of all shrines were small, had no permanent priest and belonged to a Buddhist temple.Ise Shrine and Izumo Taisha, they were just part of a temple-shrine complex controlled by Buddhist clergy.kami, they were called with the name of the kami followed by terms like gongen (avatar), ubusuna, or myōjin (明神, great kami). The term jinja (神社), now the most common, was rare.Tokusō Daigongen and Kanda Myōjin.

John Anthony Harvey

John Anthony Harvey CBE (born 1 October 1935) is a British entrepreneur and logistician whose seminal contribution was to lead (as Chairman & Chief Executive, later Executive Chairman) the intercontinental logistics service provider Tibbett & Britten Group plc

Early career

Harvey joined Unilever in 1957 as a graduate trainee after receiving a First Class Honours degree from the University of Cambridge and held a variety of appointments before becoming Managing Director of SPD Ltd (‘Speedy, Prompt Delivery’), its UK logistics subsidiary. In 1968, he was (significantly) responsible for Unilever making its original investment in the clothing distribution specialist Tibbett & Britten, followed in 1970 by the acquisition of Norfolk Line (Norfolk Lijn N.V.), the North Sea ferry company. From 1971, he went on to hold various SPD Board appointments in subsidiaries and joint ventures in North America, Scandinavia, Hong Kong, Italy and Ireland. He also became a member of Unilever's UK Policy Committee. In 1982, Harvey joined The Institute of Grocery Distribution Board (and the Policy Issues Council from mid-2001). In 1983, he became Chairman of SPD Group.

In 1984, Harvey led the management buy-out of Tibbett & Britten from Unilever and the Dutch Railways, becoming Chairman & Chief Executive of Tibbett & Britten. (SPD continued without him for another year, after which it was purchased by National Freight Corporation, which later combined it with BRS and NCL to create the proto Exel Logistics.) Harvey then led the flotation of Tibbett & Britten Group plc on the London Stock Exchange in 1986, following which the Group's extraordinary growth began.

Under Harvey's leadership, Tibbett & Britten Group revenues rose from £30 million in 1984 to £1,600 million two decades later – when it operated in 34 countries and employed 38,000 people. The company was acquired by Exel in 2004.

Harvey was appointed a CBE for services to the transport industry in 1992. In 1994, he received the Motor Transport Special Award for outstanding achievement in the Road Transport Industry. In 2002, Tibbett & Britten Group received The Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade (Export). In 2011, Harvey was named Freight Personality of the Year.
