Usa-jingu is believed to be the first shrine in Japan in which the deity Hachiman was enshrined in the eighth century. As such, it has enjoyed the deep respect and patronage of the Imperial family, and is the head shrine of all Japan's shrines dedicated to the deities of protection and military fortune.

Fears persist about Trump ‘sucking up’ to Xi on Taiwan, but few concrete outcomes anticipated from US meeting

When Xi Jinping, China’s leader, touches down in Maryland on Wednesday, he will step out into the arms – perhaps a hug, if Donald Trump’s wishes come true – of a US president who has shown China more bonhomie than any of his recent predecessors.

The meeting between Xi and Trump this week will be the second time that the leaders of the world’s two biggest economies have talked face to face this year. At the previous summit, held in Beijing in May, there was much talk of building a “strategic stability” between the two powers. But there was little by way of concrete outcomes: the countries remain at loggerheads over trade, export controls and geopolitics.

The move comes after Jamaica’s culture minister Olivia Grange travelled to the UK earlier this month to lodge the historic petition

King Charles has referred a landmark slavery reparations petition from Jamaica to a high-level UK appeals court for legal advice, Jamaica’s culture minister announced in parliament on Tuesday.

Referring to the move as a “really big deal”, Olivia Grange told Jamaica’s MPs the monarch had confirmed that their legal questions have been passed on to the London-based privy council – the final court of appeal for UK overseas territories and some Commonwealth countries.

ART NOT PHOTOGRAPHY

Instructions
Create a 4 to 1 colourful panoramic image of an Australian tropical rainforest stream with Australian rainforest fruiting and flowering species along its banks. The stream should be flowing over large rounded granite boulders as do many streams in far north Queensland. Add Archontophoenix maxima and Archontophoenix alexandrae as well as Licuala ramsayi fan palms in the low lying parts of the image. The palms should be fruiting and some flowering. Add a small waterfall in a stream entering from one side. Add Asplenium nidus ferns in the trees as well as Drynaria species also on rocky outcrops by the stream. An odd Australian tropical orchid also would be great. Throughout the image and along the stream in appropriate places add examples of colourful glass or other relevant sculptures. Make sure to create the panorama with the highest resolution and at least 4 times longer on the horizontal side to 1 on the vertical side. Add a small Black Diamond Images logo in one of the two bottom corners.

American based Ai does not seem to be able to accurately display Australian rainforest species or scenes without highly specific instructions. It often includes non Australian species like the Heliconia sp. in the left hand corner not to mention the incorrect rendering of the fronds of Licuala ramsayi.
