After decades of indifference — and, some say, school cutbacks — legislators, school administrators and parents are hard at work to improve the quantity and quality of physical education (PE) programs in American public schools. Fueling the little noticed movement is an obesity epidemic that is threatening child health across the country.
Long overshadowed by controversies about academic performance and the nationwide school-rating system mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act, PE is slowly making a comeback thanks to new state legislation and federal programs, as well as a number of corporate and nonprofit public service campaigns. And behind this effort stands a substantial cadre of angry and alarmed parents.
On the West Coast, parents in the state of Washington pressed educators and legislators last year to restore recess and other playtime activities gutted by the "No Child" academic panic. In Arizona, meanwhile, a state legislator is trying to make recess required, and in March, a chamber of Oklahoma's state assembly passed a bill to double PE time in elementary schools, also requiring nutrition studies and more PE for older students.
Here on the East Coast, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty released a budget in March that provides for an "18 percent increase in physical education teachers" in the District's public schools next year. "We're increasing the number of PE teachers to ensure all schools offer physical education," said Mafara Hobson, spokeswoman for District of Columbia Public Schools.
The federal government is also trying to get into the act. The U.S. Department of Education is offering grants to school districts and community groups under its Carol M. White Physical Education Program to improve the state of PE in grades K-12 and help students across the country meet state standards for physical education.
Why all the PE fuss? It partly stems from this country's flood of fat: Between 1975 and 2005, the number of overweight children ages 6 to 11 more than tripled, according to a U.S. Department of Education report. And increasing physical activity through PE has become a public health strategy to combat childhood obesity, according to a study on the problem published this March in the American Journal of Public Health.
The link between obesity and poor health in children and adults is backed by a growing body of research. Chronic diseases associated with weight gain, such as diabetes and heart problems, not only cause physical suffering and mental anguish for children and their families, they're costly to individuals and to health companies alike. They're also hard on state and federal budgets.
The tried-and-true adage of eat less and exercise more is still the solution for most people, and this includes overweight kids who spend the majority of their waking hours in school.
However, "there's a big discrepancy between what's really happening with physical education and recess in schools, and what many parents think is happening," according to Charlene Burgeson, executive director of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) based in Reston, Va.
And a large number of corporate and other private initiatives are trying to do just that. Among the most successful is WhatMovesU, a countrywide fitness campaign for middle schools started two years ago by the National Football League (NFL) and American Heart Association. The program works with teachers to develop curriculum-friendly activities and sends football players into schools to encourage fitness.
WhatMovesU recently got some added star power thanks to Eli Manning, the New York Giants quarterback who threw game-winning touchdown passes in this year's Super Bowl. Manning has appeared in public-service television ads for WhatMovesU and has visited several schools in the Northeast to promote the popular initiative.
"We've made visits to schools in every county in New York and New Jersey," said Ethan Medley, assistant director of community relations for the Giants. "The program provides lesson plans designed by teachers. For example, it incorporates heart-rate monitors into math lessons. Kids will measure their heart rates before and after they do jumping jacks," Medley explained, noting that the children like not only the physical activity, but the high-tech gadgets as well.
The NFL has distributed 25,000 WhatMovesU "activation kits" to schools throughout the country, and other schools that want to get in on the action can do so through the program's Web site, www.whatmovesu.com.
"It's the NFL's primary community outreach activity," said NFL Director of Community Affairs David Krichavsky, who described the country's fitness and obesity problems as "public health crises." "We've primarily worked with public schools but private schools, independent schools, are welcome to take part as well," Krichavsky told The Washington Diplomat.
Schools that participate are not guaranteed a visit by an NFL star, but each NFL team schedules "some visits" to middle schools and offers its own array of fitness incentives such as T-shirts, game tickets or access to team training sessions, Krichavsky said.
Another new initiative is EnergyNow! (www.energynow.com), a joint project of NASPE and Polar, a firm that provides fitness products. EnergyNow! awards competitive grants of ,500 to individual middle schools for them to purchase PE equipment. It also provides awardees with Polar heart-rate monitors and other assessment tools, as well as training packages.
"We are looking for schools ready to provide quality physical education, but it's not a program for the rich to get richer. You don't have to have the most innovative program in your area or already have a lot of resources. You have to be eager and open," NASPE's Burgeson said.
Parents likewise have to be open to the fact that fitness comes in all forms. If football, field hockey or other school staples don't suit your child, there are plenty of other options, especially in a city as diverse as Washington, D.C. One such option is martial arts, which aims to teach both fitness and life skills.
For instance, the Hung Tao Choy Mei Kung Fu Academy in downtown D.C. teaches children and teens the traditional techniques of the Jow Ga school of kung fu, as well as guidance on healthy living and leadership development.
"We teach the traditional kung fu skills … that is, self defense, balance, flexibility and strength training," said instructor Abdur-Rahim Muhammad, founder of the academy. Other offerings include music instruction on traditional instruments such as drums, gongs and cymbals, as well as "lion dancing" and Saturday cartooning classes.
However, just as important, "we teach life skills — teamwork, the value of making friends, being decisive, trust," said Muhammad, an international businessman who has traveled throughout the United States, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and mainland China.
His academy, located on U Street, offers daytime classes for children on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, as well as the Saturday cartooning classes (when space is available), for a fee of 0 for the first month and a month after that. The academy is a community service organization that also receives funding for an extensive scholarship program serving low-income summer campers, with a focus on children living in the District's Ward One and Logan Circle neighborhoods.
The 2008 scholarship summer camp, titled "Martial Arts - Life Skills - Healthy Lifestyles," offers six weeks of martial arts and life skills training to children between the ages of 5 and 13.

Types of Tornado
If you are a fan of thrillers or intrigued by natural disasters, then you might have wondered why the sky can turn green during (or just before) a tornado. And if you've never seen one in real life, we are here to tell you that yes, the sky can really turn an eerie shade of green before a tornado forms. In today's article, I will be answering all the questions you may have about the legendary green sky tornado, such as what causes this meteorological phenomenon, and even some examples of where they have been seen in history.
Green Skies: What Does it Mean When You See One?
Typically, green skies are a sign of a storm, and not just light storms. This is likely where the phrase "the calm before the storm" comes from.
Signs of a passing storm typically include rainfall prior to the actual landing of a tornado, as most tornadoes form from a supercell thunderstorm.
However, in the case of a severe storm, calm air and green skies are a sign of a fast approaching tornado. In this scenario, it would be wise to take the appropriate precautions and find shelter as soon as you are able to.
A supercell with hail and an ominous green core which is forming into a tornado
But a green sky tornado forming also has something to do with the time of day. Dark green skies are usually more visible later in the day, so a late afternoon or early evening tornado is more likely to be preceded by a green sky.
The Science Behind Green Sky Tornadoes
As a naturally occurring phenomenon, there are only a handful of theories as to why these green skies occur. In other parts of the world, green skies do not occur at all during a tornado, and you're most likely to observe this meteorological marvel in the states that make up Tornado Alley.
For now, here is what we have found:
The green color in these clouds will occur only within deeper clouds. And as we all know, there are many different types of clouds. In this case, deeper clouds are storm clouds, so that causes the green and dark tints. A sky filled with green-colored clouds may also indicate that the cloud itself is very tall.
Light is Scattered
With different types of clouds, the depth of various storm clouds can increase the space between water molecules. When the light rays come through the clouds, they bounce off of the water molecules. The distance between the water molecules affects the color of the light we observe when it finally comes through the clouds.
That, combined with the colors from an existing sunset (for example), is where the green color peaks.
A tall band of clouds in this supercell at sunset begins to turn green
This is why late-day tornadoes are usually the ones that are preceded by a green sky.
And the last, and probably most easily understood theory, is that water is blue and the sky during sunsets is orange. When they mix, this makes green. The depth in the clouds makes it so that the color is more visible and the light rays mix together, creating a green tint.
Green Skies: What to do when you see them
Above are just some popular theories that help us make sense of this natural phenomena.
Supercell over the great plains with an intense, green sky just before a tornado formed
That being said, it is important to take cover whenever you do come across a green sky tornado, or any other type of major storm event. Here are some things to remember:
This may be obvious, but it is important to seek shelter during a major storm. You will want to stay away from windows and any other delicate or flimsy foundations. If you live in a tornado-prone area, or have a basement or storm cellar at your disposal, seek shelter immediately. Whenever you see green skies, it's important to get someplace safe.
If you are driving and you see a tornado, pull off the road and seek shelter. Do not drive towards it or try to drive past or beside it as they move a lot faster than they appear to. Tornadoes can also switch their direction very suddenly. If you are in an emergency situation where the tornado is too close to you, get as low as you can by laying flat in a ditch.
Urban Areas: Things to Note
Most tornado-prone areas already have designated basements and storm cellars in case of these situations. However, tornadoes are very unpredictable and can sometimes even form within urban areas. If you are in an urban area, and you see the green skies, take it as a warning sign. The lower you can get, the better. Stay on lower levels of buildings and seek a type of shelter with an established foundation.
The Lore of The Green Sky Tornado
Green skies are naturally occurring and they are an amazing (though eerie) sight.
Some people may find them fascinating, while others take it as a warning sign that something much bigger is arriving. Either way, take the proper precautions.
Even if we don't know exactly why the sky turns green before a tornado, there is an established connection. A sky with a green appearance is a harbinger for a severe storm.
Don't ignore the signs. Out of all the theories presented above, one thing they all have in common is that you're on the brink of experiencing a major storm, even if it doesn't turn out to be a tornado. Knowing this information alone brings you one step closer to debunking the different storm and tornado myths.

Life At AEON

Yagoto
Kozoji
Year Round Worldwide
Kanazawa is located in the north-west of Ishikawa prefecture in Japan. The city rests between the Sai and Asano rivers, with the Japanese Alps in the east.
Kanazawa is known for its large, historic Kenroku park. Considered one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan, Kenroku-en is located in the heart of Kanazawa and is appreciated for its simple, yet elegant designs. Kenroku-en was developed over many generations by the Kaga clan lords and the gardening style represents eternal life.
Kanazawa also has the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art. The museum holds exhibitions from a variety of artists that change every few months. The most popular exhibit is 'The Swimming Pool.' Visitors get to submerge themselves into a waterless pool. From the top, the people in the pool look as if they are floating in water, while from below, people look up to see a watery ceiling.
The Myouryuji Temple is also known as the Ninja Temple. The temple does not get its name from people skilled in ninjutsu, but from its deceptive architecture. The layout and location were a part of its defense against potential attacks from the central government. While it has many interesting layout features, one of the most fascinating is that it is built around a water well that has an underground tunnel to Kanazawa castle!
Due to Kanazawa's close proximity to the ocean, it has some of the freshest and most diverse seafood in Japan. Kanazawa is also home to kaga yasai, a leafy green vegetable, that is indigenous to the area. Another delectable dish from Kanazawa is Gori or small Japanese freshwater fish. These fish are marinated in soy sauce and ginger, dusted with potato starch and then deep-fried.

Here's more from AEON Kanazawa School teacher Hisano sensei:
I have been working at the branch school in Kanazawa in Ishikawa prefecture for nearly 5 years. As I used to be a student at this school, I was really happy to return as a teacher. My responsibility as a head teacher is to support other teachers in their quest to provide good student care. Therefore, as a team leader I help the teachers reach their potential to be better assets to the school. Whilst living in Japan, foreign teachers might experience differences in culture and customs. I also give them support when they encounter difficulties at work or outside work. I help them to get their point across to other Japanese people and vice versa. I would like to create an atmosphere in which my colleagues can work well together.

'Fans With Heart Problems Have To Be Careful' Jokes Alisson
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson arrived at Anfield with a reputation for being comfortable with the ball at his feet. He wowed fans by chipping the ball over the head of a Brighton attacker last weekend.
The goalkeeper is renowned for his footwork as much as his glovemanship and the Brazilian joked that Liverpool fans can look forward to some heart stopping moments. "It is already calculated. I take risks," he told ESPN Brasil.
"Fans with heart problems have to be careful! But on the pitch, as I said before, I do not try to make of fun of a rival. It's not to show that I can do this or that, but to help the team. It is to achieve targets.
"I make a dribble or a simple pass, knowing that if I lose the ball near the area the opponent can score. I am aware of what I do on the pitch, but I always do it to help the team. That's why occasionally I also boot the ball into the stands
Alisson also paid tribute to how the coach and players have smoothed his acclimatisation. "I was very well received by my teammates and by Klopp. He also treats the players really well off the pitch. On the pitch, he is also a tremendously intelligent manager.
"He prepares the game in a very precise way during the week, placing all players on the pitch to make us aware of what we are going to find on the pitch and also giving resources about the offensive and defensive movements."

Don't forget... You've Got Personnel-ity!
Last week I presented my topic You've Got Personnel-ity! to Equity Engineering Group. I've been a DiSC trainer for 20 years, teaching people how to use this tool in business and personal life.


Friends of Shrewsbury House are a community group that work hard to support and help maintain the house, the house also has a large garden that needs plenty of friends!
The garden space is a mix of flower beds, lawn and edible planting, with lots of wild patches to enjoy, and a lovely lawn perfect for playing on!
This week the Shrewsbury House volunteer gardeners tackled the leaves clogging up the new growth in the lower garden (between the Old Library and Greengarth), did some more edging, kept on weeding and mulching at the front cut and strimmed the grass (that's a massive task)!. In the wildlife garden, the tadpoles look very happy, but it's hard to say what's a frog and what's a toad.
Next Saturday we are having a break for Easter but will be back on Saturday 1st May. If you would like to join us and volunteer at Shrewsbury House please come along any Saturday 10am until noon, all are welcome, we are family friendly!
A hardy group offive gardeners braved the chill to continue nibbling away at the maintenance tasks in the Shrewsbury House gardens. We continued: tidying up the beds with the edging iron, plus weeding and mulching. We piled up our leaf mould in the wildlife garden, and stared at the frogspawn and toadspawn. We also moved the north end compost bin to a new home in the electirc garden (yes, that was a very messy job)! and tidied up the leaves round the cafe tables and chairs. We also admired the first signs of Headways arrival, with all their gardening gusto. Welcome!
Our new willow arch was also planted in it's new home this week, in the lower garden by the Old Library, it's is looking beautiful and seems very happy in it's new spot!
We had the first Garden Get Together of 2019 - cleaning up the gardens next to the famous - and listed - Cold War Bunker. The hedgehogs were sensibly all in hiding, but we left plenty of holes for their travels under the fence to and from into the Greengarth bungalow gardens. Our youngest volunteers,fortified by squash and cake, moved what seemed like a forest - worth of leaves and tree debris.
News of our willow arch - kindlly given to Shrewsbury Houseby Greenwich Community Garden now that they have closed.
Back at the end of January we had a walk around the gardens with Joe Woodcock who offered us advice on improving our garden, to read our plan for this year click here.
Shrewsbury House has a wonderful wildlife gardens that has a bug hotel, pond (full of tadpoles)! briar patch and nettle bed, it is a wonderful place for children to come and explore nature.
a lovely community library room, full of books to swop, borrow and browse - children's books, all kinds of fiction, cookery books, history and factual books and a collection of DVD's. That many book takes quite a bit of looking after - and noodling around trying to get them in order is a perfect alternative to gardening if you prefer to volunteer indoors.
We welcome all to come along and volunteer in the house and gardens, we will be holding regular family friendly garden get togethers with plenty to do for children when they get fed up with gardening! Do come along and see us!
* You will find us any Saturday from 10am to noon at Shrewsbury House.
* Ask about the Friends in the bar at Shrewsbury House on Friday evenings.
* Follow us on Twitter twitter.com/S_House_Friends or email cksefton@gmail.com.

OAU Staff Threaten Strike Action Over Unpaid Allowances
January 12, 2022 Clement News 0
This was made known via a resolution of the congress held by lecturers on Tuesday.
Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, have threatened to embark on an indefinite strike over their unpaid Earned Academic Allowances.
It was signed by ASUU OAU Chairperson, Adeola Egbedokun.
The academic staff members complained that no concrete action was taken by the university before the expiration of an ultimatum which was on January 7.
The union said it was going to seek the permission of the national secretariat to embark on a total, indefinite and comprehensive strike.
"Congress however noted and reiterated the following – that constitution of any committee to be set up by the university administration to 'verify the correctness of all claims submitted by members of Academic Staff Union of the Universities as regards the Earned Academic Allowance', should be rejected since there was no such instruction.
"That the ultimatum of Friday, January 7, 2022, given to the university administration to pay EAA into the accounts of all deserving members of ASUU OAU expired without concrete action.
"That the actions of the administration and the Vice Chancellor in particular, with regards to EAA disbursements, has always undermined the struggles of ASUU. After exhaustive deliberation, congress resolved as follows – that the branch should embark on a total, indefinite and comprehensive strike."

For the first image it is correctly calculating HOG features for all levels but for the next image it takes the old value of width and height and in that case it break the following loop.
if(width < win_size.width || height < win_size.height)
break;

Can some one point my mistake. I tried to debug but unfortunately no success yet.

A: HOG feature calculation of each image takes old value of the following three parameters.
1. Width
2. Height
3. Scale
And when it calculates HOG features for next image it break the loop immediately. A common programming mistake.

Songs Of Experience (Deluxe Edition)
Format ‐ CD
Genre ‐ Pop & Rock
Deluxe Edition Features 4 Additional Tracks!
Recorded in Dublin, New York and Los Angeles, 'Songs of Experience' was completed earlier this year with its subject matter influenced by Brendan Kennelly's advice to Bono, to "...write as if you're dead." The result is a collection of songs in the form of intimate letters to places and people close to the singer's heart: family, friends, fans and indeed himself.
'Songs Of Experience' is the companion release to 2014's 'Songs Of Innocence,' the two titles drawing inspiration from a collection of poems, 'Songs of Innocence and Experience,' by the 18th century English mystic and poet William Blake.
Produced by Jacknife Lee and Ryan Tedder, with Steve Lillywhite, Andy Barlow and Jolyon Thomas, the album features a cover image by Anton Corbijn of band-members' teenage children Eli Hewson and Sian Evans.

Once Upon a Time in the West: How Penzance Literary Festival Began
Home \ Blog \
Back in 2010, at a Society of Authors meeting at the Godolphin Arms, Marazion, history was made.
Peter Levin, founder of the Festival, remembers it clearly. "Somebody said, 'why don't we have a literary festival'… I was the person who had the e-mail list, so it fell to me to organise it".
Looking back on that first Festival, Peter says: "we ended up doing something quite ridiculous; a Festival for three days in town, then at the weekend in a marquee out at Trereife. It was like two festivals end-to-end: lunacy".
Peter goes on to explain that "at that time the Acorn was 'dark', with no idea when – or even if – it would re-open. The headquarters was Trevelyan House in Chapel Street, and we had meetings at the Arts Club" (now Chapel House).
Patrick Gale, patron of the Festival, agrees. He reminds us of "the honoured far west tradition that we're so out on a limb that we might as well make our own fun and not give a damn who is watching".
Two memorable events set the Festival on the road to success. The first was the involvement of Patrick, who remains our patron. The second was the first donation, when, as Peter recalls, "a supporter chipped in £50″.
Patrick says: "Penzance LitFest is one of those small miracles of creativity that has grown by stealth to become a player on the nation's book festival scene". He puts this down to "Peter Levin's infectious belief that we can do anything if we put our minds to it".
That 2010 programme included a wealth of talks, some by contributors who have become stalwarts, such as Chris Higgins and Nicola Upson, who are joining us again in 2018.
Back then, most tickets cost only £2 and they had to be bought in person. There was plenty of poetry, workshops, and talks on how to get published. Groups met to discuss Patrick Gale's Penzance-set novel 'Notes from an Exhibition', still a favourite.
The Festival colour, back in 2010, was green. Where did the current trademark orange come from? And why? "We wanted something bright and attention-seeking", says Peter, explaining that "this was long before Sainsbury's cast their beady eye on the eastern approach to the town".
So – what does Patrick have to say about how the Festival has developed? Reminding us that the Festival is still entirely reliant upon volunteers, he calls it "a lovely testament to Penzance's buzzing sense of community".
"Writing as a regular speaker at festivals", Patrick adds, "I noticed from the outset that Penzance's audiences are refreshingly different in their sense of active participation – they've read your book and now they're jolly well going to tell you what they think.
"Writers are lonely souls and respond eagerly to that sense of an audience completing the circle and I'm sure that's why I'm now regularly hearing from publicists, harried by their authors, asking if it's true that this little festival at the end of the line is really worth the expense of an author's train fare and hotel room. It delights me that I can answer them a resounding yes and, increasingly, warn them that there's a queue to get in."
And the organisers, in turn, are always grateful to Patrick for his generous support and the wealth of contacts and suggestions he provides.
Our tenth anniversary is just coming up over the horizon – so look out for a fuller retrospective on that occasion, and also, of course, a look forward. We wonder – what will Litfest 2028 look like?

What is the name of Naruto's daughter – Relax Type ▷➡
December 11, 2022 by Mabel Whitehead
What is the name of Naruto's daughter?
Naruto is one of the main characters in Japan's most successful anime franchise called "Naruto", which they made a film adaptation. When talking about Naruto, we cannot forget his daughter, Himawari Uzumaki, the daughter of the protagonists, Naruto and Hinata Uzumaki.
Who is Himawari Uzumaki?
Himawari Uzumaki is the daughter of the series' protagonists, Naruto and Hinata Uzumaki. She is a petite two-year-old girl with long flowing dark brown hair and large blue eyes. Despite her young age, she is a very intelligent, smart and charismatic girl, and is destined to be a future kunoichi.
What are Himawari's abilities?
Himawari possesses the peculiar genetic ability called Byakugan, one of the three great Eye powers The others are: the Sharingan and the Rinnegan. This ability allows her to see through objects and detect hidden movement with the help of her extraordinary eyes. Also, she can use some ninja seals with great skill.
How does being Naruto's daughter affect Himawari?
Himawari as the daughter of Naruto and Hinata has the advantage of being the granddaughter of the Fifth Hokage, Hiashi Hyuga, and Neji Hyuga, which motivates her to follow the path of the great ninjas. In addition, the fact that the two were a great ninja couple will make their relationship as parents sure to be a great inspiration for the little girl.
Therefore, little Himawari Uzumaki is one of the most beloved and popular characters in the Naruto franchise. Despite her young age, she is destined to be one of the greatest kunoichi in the franchise. With the help of her parents, Naruto and Hinata, she is certain that she will achieve great things.
What is the name of Naruto's children?
He is finally the Seventh Hokage (七代目火影, Nanadaime Hokage; meaning "Seventh Shadow of Fire") of Konoha, as well as the husband of Hinata Hyūga and father of Boruto Uzumaki and Himawari Uzumaki.
Naruto's daughter
Naruto is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Japanese manga and anime series of the same name. After defeating the criminal organization known as the Akatsuki, Naruto became the Hokage of his village, Kasuga.
Naruto's daughter is named Hinata Hyuga. She is one of the daughters of the famous Hyuga brothers. Like all members of the Hyuga Clan, she possesses the Byakugan, a special eye that allows her to see things others cannot.
When was Hinata born?
Hinata was born on the day of her father, Naruto, near the end of the Fourth Ninja War. His mother is Hinata Hyuga and his father, obviously, is Naruto.
Hinata's personality
Hinata is an introverted, shy and often insecure young woman. She has a big heart and is extremely loyal to her friends and family. She can be very brave when it comes to protecting the ones she loves.
Hinata's powers
As mentioned above, Hinata possesses the Byakugan. This gives him various powers, such as:
Long distance vision: Hinata can see things at a great distance.
Practice In Martial Arts: She possesses exceptional knowledge in martial arts.
Chakra manipulation: She can manipulate her chakra to attack her opponents.
Hinata is one of the most popular characters in the series and obviously one of the best. She is a great addition to the Uzumaki family and an invaluable member of the Konoha village.
What is the name of Naruto's daughter or son?
The birth of Boruto, the son of Naruto and Hinata.
In the world of "Naruto" fans, there is a lot of discussion about the identities and names of the characters, especially Naruto's daughter.
Why is there so much uncertainty about the name of Naruto's daughter?
Naruto was attracted to Hinata Hyuga, who already had a son from a past relationship. Yes, Naruto and Hinata's son needs a name, but it hasn't been released yet.
Who is the mother?
Hinata Hyuuga, originally from the Hyuuga Clan, is the mother of Naruto's daughter. She is known for her determination and desire to protect those she loves, even if it means risking her life.
What is the name?
Although the official name of the daughter of Naurto and Hinata has not yet been revealed, there are several names that have been suggested by fans to try to decipher the meaning and identity of this character.
These are the most suggested names for Naruto's daughter:
Karin: which means "love" in Japanese.
Hinata: means "sunshine in the snow" in Japanese, due to the fact that her mother's name is also Hinata.
Hanna: which means "flower" in Japanese.
Conan: which means "little rose" in Japanese.
Akane: which means "red" in Japanese.
Hikari: which means "light" in Japanese.
Hime: which means "princess" in Japanese.
Kurenai: which means "purple flower" in Japanese.
Although fans will have to wait to find out the official name for Naruto's daughter, there are many good name options that have been suggested for her.

In Allianz Insurance and Sirius International Insurance Corporation v Tonicstar Limited  EWCA Civ 434, the Court of Appeal has reversed the decision of the High Court on whether a party-appointed arbitrator met the contractual requirements as to requisite experience. The dispute arose under a reinsurance contract that incorporated the "Excess Loss Clauses" of the Joint Excess Loss Committee. The arbitration clause required the arbitrators to have "experience of insurance and reinsurance". The Court of Appeal held that that an English QC with experience of insurance and reinsurance law was sufficient to comply with this requirement.
This decision is of particular interest as such challenges to arbitrators rarely come before the courts. It highlights the importance of drafting arbitration clauses clearly, particularly where parties require their arbitrators to possess certain qualifications or experience. If insurance parties want a tribunal convened of one or more market practitioners, as opposed to lawyers with sector experience, this should be clearly expressed.
For more on this decision, see our arbitration team's blog post here.
Non-disclosure clauses: when is a non-disclosure "deliberate or fraudulent"?
In Mutual Energy Ltd v Starr Underwriting Agents Ltd  EWHC 590 (TCC), Mr Justice Coulson considered the proper construction of a clause which prevented insurers from avoiding the policy for non-disclosure unless that non-disclosure was "deliberate or fraudulent". The Judge held that a non-disclosure would only be "deliberate or fraudulent" if the insured deliberately withheld information knowing that it was required to be disclosed. Insurers were not entitled to avoid the policy where the insured withheld information in the honest but mistaken belief that the information did not need to be disclosed.
The High Court has held that the words "in any way involving any act, error or omission" before a certain date in an exclusion clause in a professional indemnity policy meant "indirectly caused by". The act, error or omission must be part of the chain of causation leading to the insured's liability for the underlying claim, not merely part of the historical context or background, for the exclusion to bite. The policy in question also included (a) a notification clause providing that notification as soon as practicable was a condition precedent to recovery; and (b) a continuity of cover clause. On the facts the insured had given notice under the 2013/2014 policy in accordance with the notification clause. The Court stated, obiter dicta, that even if the insured should have notified the claim under the 2012/2013 policy, it would have been entitled to cover under the 2013/2014 policy by virtue of the continuity of cover clause.
In Aspen Insurance UK Limited v Adana Construction Limited  EWCA Civ 176, the Court of Appeal considered the meaning of a "Product" under the terms of a Building Services Combined Liability Policy. The Court of Appeal adopted a purposive interpretation in the context of a policy which was intended by the parties to cover a wide range of circumstances in which liability would arise.
