is a 2007 Japanese kaiju film written, starring and directed by Hitoshi Matsumoto. It was well received by critics in the U.S., after many months of showings at various festivals and film events.

Plot
The film takes the form of a mockumentary that follows Masaru Daisatou. Daisatou is an otherwise normal Japanese citizen except for an inherited ability to grow to a height of approximately 30 meters in response to the application of high voltage electricity. As both his father and grandfather before him, Daisatou has accepted the duty to protect Japan against various giant monsters while working for a sub-division of the defence ministry called the Ministry of Monster Prevention. The Battles with the monster are televised, and the ratings appear to drop or pick up depending on the event, most of the monsters have obscure abilities, and he generally defeats them. Despite his great powers, he increasingly finds himself mocked by his fellow citizens while struggling under the burden of living up to a heroic lineage that increasingly overshadows his own mediocre accomplishments as a monster fighter. To further complicate matters, he is deeply estranged from his own wife and child, who aren't living with him. Eventually, he encounters a particularly formidable monster, said not to be from Japan but from Korea. He runs away from it, which just results in more ridicule. Eventually, he receives assistance from a family of Ultraman-styled monster fighters to challenge it.

Cast

U.S. release
Magnolia Pictures gave the film a limited release in April 2008.  It was released on DVD July 28, 2009.

Reception
Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 78% of 32 surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating is 6.4/10.  The site's consensus is: "Hitoshi Matsumoto's indescribably odd mockumentary is undeniably inspired."  Metacritic rated it 62/100 based on 13 reviews.  Roger Ebert said the film was "very funny in an insidious way" and gave it three and a half stars out of four.

American remake
In June 2011, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that there was a remake in the works.  Phil Hay, Ugur Demir and Matt Manfredi were reported to be writing the script and Neal H. Moritz the producer.

Lee Cheol-ha is a South Korean film director known for his stylish portraits of the human experience.

Born in South Korea, Lee was raised in Seoul. He eschewed the film school route, doing other hands-on work for commercial film productions. He next got a job at Sidus FNH in 1999 with his first screen credit being for Il Mare as an assistant director. He left Korea to study a film at Academy of Art University in California. One of his short film won 1st place at the College Emmy Awards.

After he graduated at Academy of Art University, he came back to Korea and direct commercials and music videos. This quickly brought Lee to the attention of producers in Korea and he got the chance to direct a feature film. Though he would continue to direct spots for companies like GM Daewoo Motors, Pantech Curitel, CIGNA, Global Gillette, Innostream and Orion Confectionery, Lee Cheol-ha soon discovered that the slightly expanded format of music videos was an even better place to try things out.

With his sights set on a directing career, he made a video-production company H Films and started off directing music videos and commercials. Lee directed music videos for artists such as BoA, TVXQ, Kangta, Shinhwa, S.E.S., Jaurim, Fly to the Sky, S and g.o.d, as well as commercials. Like a number of other music video directors, he then moved into film.

Lee Cheol-ha's feature debut was Love Me Not (2006), which was then the most expensive picture ever made by a first time director. Unfortunately the film was not a pleasant experience for him, having had a bad critic with the people at Korea film industry. While it received Grand Bell Awards nominations for Art Direction, Costume Design and Best Leading Actress, the film was not well received by critics or movie goers.

Enslavement of Beauty is a symphonic black metal  band from Norway. Enslavement of Beauty was formed in January 1995 by Ole Alexander Myrholt (vocals & lyrics) and Tony Eugene Tunheim (guitars & composing). The band spent the subsequent years composing and recording material and thereby developed their expression. In the summer of 1998, Enslavement of Beauty recorded the demo CD "Devilry & Temptation" which gained them a deal with Head Not Found/Voices of Wonder. This resulted in the 1999 release "Traces O' Red" which received very positive response. In November 2000, they recorded their second album, "Megalomania", accompanied by drummer Asgeir Mickelson (Borknagar/Spiral Architect) and bass player Hans-Aage Holmen. In 2007 the third album, "Mere Contemplations" has been released with the I.N.R.I. Unlimited label. Lyrically, Enslavement of Beauty is highly influenced by the works of William Shakespeare and Marquis de Sade.

Voice is a studio album by Japanese jazz pianist Hiromi Uehara's Trio Project featuring bassist Anthony Jackson and drummer Simon Phillips. The album was released on June 7, 2011 by Telarc Digital label.

Music
As Hiromi says, "I called this album Voice because I believe that people’s real voices are expressed in their emotions. It’s not something that you really say. It’s more something that you have in your heart. Maybe it’s something you haven’t said yet. Maybe you’re never going to say it. But it’s your true voice. Instrumental music is very similar. We don’t have any words or any lyrics to go with it. It’s the true voice that we don’t really put into words, but we feel it when it’s real."

Reception
Derk Richardson of The Absolute Sound stated "On Voice, her seventh album, Hiromi’s energy shines like never before. Much credit goes to Michael Bishop’s recording, which pushes the piano, synths, bass, drums, and cymbals right into your room where their presence—sharp-edged or rounded and burnished at exactly the right moments—pulsates against the silence. But Voice is more than one of best-engineered piano records this side of ECM; it is an hour of virtually nonstop excitement, rising to peak after peak, capped by a perfectly placed five-minute denouement that allows your burning ears to cool down." Ian Patterson of All About Jazz commented, "Voice presents Hiromi as a maturing composer spreading her wings, confident and open to all manner of influences. This is a highly satisfying addition to Hiromi's discography, and one that leaves the tantalizing sensation that her already fascinating musical journey is maybe only just beginning."

Phil Wain of No Treble stated "We certainly feel it. Hiromi’s latest album, Voice is convincing music – it has the air of authenticity, the musicians believe in what they are creating and what they have created here is a record that stands fairly unique, both in contemporary jazz and in Hiromi’s recorded output to date. You can hear the Ahmad Jamal influence fairly explicitly, while at the same time it’s definitely Hiromi’s voice here." In his review for The Guardian, John Fordham wrote, "Though she can't resist hurtling through a jaw-dropping obstacle race of swing, classical adaptations and thundering blues, it's hard to resist the childlike glee with which she does it all. Voice doesn't feature any vocals, but the theme is her journey towards a voice of her own."

The Burnside Nest was a temporary outdoor sculpture by Swedish artist Hannes Wingate, installed in Portland, Oregon, United States, in 2014.

Description and history
Hannes Wingate's The Burnside Nest was a temporary, "unsolicited" outdoor spherical sculpture resembling an oversized bird nest. It was installed in a  tree on private property north of the east side of the Burnside Bridge, adjacent to the Burnside Skatepark near the intersection of Northeast 3rd Avenue and Couch Street. Wingate, who lives in Portland part-time, constructed the sculpture from branches found from the site and around the city. He also included man-made materials, similar to the way birds create nests. Objects woven into the nest include a box-spring, part of a chair, rebar, a street sign, and two-by-fours. Wingate has said of the sculpture, "Only humans consider nature as separate from themselves. The bird does not. Therefore, it forages for materials that are usable for the nest and doesn't care if they're 'natural' or not, as long as they work."

Despite having a land-use permit from the Portland Development Commission, Wingate was stopped four times by local police officers on the day he began creating the sculpture. It was unveiled on May 10, 2014. During the preview, five people climbed up the tree and sat in the nest, even though the structure was not designed to hold people and was positioned on private property. The sculpture was scheduled to be removed at the end of July and replaced by the Burnside Bridgehead. According to Willamette Week, the artist spoke with the project's developer and Skylab Architecture about returning the sculpture after the building's construction was complete.

Reception
Willamette Week Richard Speer called the work "a bird's nest on steroids" and compared it to sculptures by British artist Andy Goldsworthy. Furthermore, he wrote, "The Burnside Nest is damned cute. It's a nest, for crying out loud, primal symbol of home and nurturing. And although nobody is likely to mistake it for a High Modernist masterpiece by Constantin Brâncuși or Henry Moore, the sculpture has a crunchy, eco-friendly coziness that could bring out the kid in even the most jaded curmudgeon."

Principal Riverwalk is a recreational park district along the banks of the Des Moines River in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. After eight years of work, it was completed in January 2013.

Funded by the city of Des Moines, Principal Financial and the Iowa state government, Principal Riverwalk features a  recreational trail connecting the east and west sides of downtown via two pedestrian bridges. Trails connect the Court Avenue District, central business district, East Village, Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden, Iowa Events Center and Gray's Lake with other metro area recreational trails. A landscaped promenade along the street level connects the riverfront amphitheater and several plazas, including an outdoor ice skating rink and summertime fountain plaza. A series of civic gardens with sculptures are located near Des Moines City Hall. Meredith Corporation contributed $2 million to fund the Meredith Trail, a pathway connecting Gray's Lake with the MLK Trail via the George Washington Carver Bridge.

Although the RAGBRAI campground during RAGBRAI XLI in 2013 was west of downtown Des Moines at the Des Moines Water Works Park, many RAGBRAI activities were held in downtown Des Moines along Court Avenue including the evening RAGBRAI concert which was held at the Principal Riverwalk.  The Lauridsen Amphitheater in Des Moines Water Works Park was not built during RAGBRAI XLI in 2013 so, when the RAGBRAI campground for RAGBRAI L in 2023 was once again at Des Moines Water Works Park while Des Moines hosted RAGBRAI, however, the Lauridsen Amphitheater hosted the evening RAGBRAI concert featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd on Wednesday, July 26, 2023.
