Predict an Eruption

This presentation uses data from several eruptive episodes of Mount St. Helens in the 1980's to show the way in which a series of
eruptions were accurately predicted by USGS scientists as far as 3 weeks
before eruptive activity occurred. Several modules demonstrate the use
of earthquakes and deformation of a volcano for predicting eruptions and allow
you to predict an actual eruption of Mount St. Helens using data
collected by scientists of the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory.

Japanese Modern Jazz Opera (My Favorite Video)

http://www.theworld.org/2010/02/17/japanese-jazz-opera/

The standard view of Japanese popular culture, at least here in the United
States, is that its wacky, chaotic and impossible to fathom. Thats the
first reaction you might get from a video doing the rounds online. It
features actors dressed up as traditional Japanese peasants performing some
sort of story to the accompaniment of American jazz standards. Which they
sing. With Japanese lyrics.

At first glance its just funny. But The Worlds Alex Gallafent digs a

little deeper.

So a colleague sent me a link to a video. It had been forwarded to him by
another friend: you know how it goes.

The video is titled: "Japanese Jazz Opera". And heres how it begins. Yep, thats Nows The Time, by Charlie Parker.

Only in the video its sung by an old peasant couple, with Japanese lyrics.

The setting is a kind of studio version of an olden-days Japanese

village. They seem to be actors in some kind of elaborate comedy skit.

But before you have a chance to consider what might be going on, they

move on to Miles Davis. Superficially the video, which runs to about ten
minutes, is just spectacularly odd.

But still, what IS it? I turned for help to Roland Kelts. Hes the author of Japan America -

and splits his time between Tokyo and the US. It didnt take Kelts long to
recognize the actor playing the part of the old peasant woman - a
middle-aged man in sunglasses.

KELTS: "In Japan, this guy Tamori, the comedian behind this video, this

show, is everywhere, hes ubiquitous."

OK, progress: so we know its a skit starring one of Japans biggest

celebrities.

KELTS: "If you can imagine someone posters beer that you see on TV

every night in Japan."

And this video clip, Kelts says, comes from Tamoris nightly variety

show, an edition from March 1986. It was called What a Great Night. Kelts
recognizes the subject of the skit too.

Turns out its a take on Momotaro, or the Peach Boy - one of the

all-time classic Japanese fairy tales.

KELTS: "It follows the narrative very closely, it hews quite close to

the narrative, but everything is done tongue-in-cheek."

The first part of the story goes like this. Theres a poor old couple.

They cant have kids. One day, a giant peach floats down the river to their
village. The old couple take the peach home and try to eat it. But when
they cut it open, they find a boy inside.

In Tamoris version, this is where they sing Thelonius Monks Misterioso. So now weve got a Japanese T-V variety show from the 1980s doing a

tongue-in-cheek version of a classic fairy tale.

But why the jazz? It starts to make a bit more sense, says Roland Kelts, when you know

that Tamori - the comedian - was born in August 1945.

That makes him the archetypal post-war boomer. Kelts: "That generation grew up idolizing America pop culture. They

read American novels, they listened to America jazz, they watched Am TV. So
knowing those specific numbers and who created them, who composed them
would be a point of pride."

And Kelts thinks that back in the 80s, that self-aware sophistication -

knowing relatively obscure jazz tunes like this one, Bill Evans Waltz for
Debby - fit into a broader sense of Japans place in the world.

Tamoris TV show took full advantage. Kelts: "That was a time when Japans economy was expanding show that was

perceived to be how far Japan had come can poke fun. at ourselves best
known fairytale in Japan."

In Japan, but not here in the States. Heres how it ends. The peach boy

grows up. And, along with some animal friends, he travels across the ocean
- um, to the Herbie Hancock tune, Maiden Voyage.

Oi punk Greek Girl-Gang Sexually Molest Tourists: Dances, Breaks Plates "Oi
punks ta kanoun ola"

Three aggressive female punk bikers take their revenge on men. In a
cinema, they force one of the spectators to climb on stage and to have sex
with one of them at gunpoint. div>

Then they sneak into an apartment building and take advantage of two
bewildered and fearful occupants. Then it's off to a disco where the
dancers are engrossed in the local custom of smashing plates (?!). In the
dressing-room, the girls teach a professional heartbreaker a lesson. Next,
in the woods, a man standing next to his car is threatened with a gun into
having sex with a female passer-by. At the end of the day, the three tough
girls home in on their local bar to find some comfort with their
boyfriends.
