Celebrating peace and U.S.-Japan friendship, Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki honors Dave Roberts with an award and first pitch ceremony at Dodger Stadium.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, June 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Mr. Denny Tamaki, the governor of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, will present the Okinawa Prefecture Honor Award to Mr. Dave Roberts, the Los Angeles Dodgers Manager and Okinawan descendant, on Saturday, June 14 from around 6:50 pm, right before the night game against SF Giants at LA Dodgers Stadium. The governor will then throw the first pitch to Dave Roberts. The ceremony signifies Okinawan people’s strong wish for peace and friendly bilateral relations between the U.S. and Japan, who fought against each other 80 years ago, and now enjoy one of the strongest ties in the world.

[Background Information]

(1) What is an Okinawa Prefecture Honor Award

The Okinawa Prefecture Honor Award is commended to honor individuals who are widely respected by the people of Okinawa and have made outstanding achievements in the fields of academics, sports, arts, and culture who give bright hope and encouragement to the people of Okinawa.

(2) Reason for presenting the Award to Mr. Roberts

Mr. Roberts led the Los Angeles Dodgers to the MLB 2024 World Series championship as manager. As an Okinawan descendant, his achievement brought great pride, joy, and hope not only to the people of Okinawa Prefecture but also to the more than 400,000 Uchinanchu (people from Okinawa Prefecture and of Okinawan descent) worldwide.

(3) Meaning of "DENNY" on Governor s uniform at the opening pitch ceremony

Governor Denny Tamaki was born to an American father who was a Marine and a Uchinanchu (Okinawan) mother. He was named Dennis, and his friends have called him by his nickname "Denny" since childhood. His official name now is Yasuhiro Tamaki, but he goes by Denny Tamaki, including his work as governor.
Governor Denny Tamaki, whose father is a U.S. Marine, and Mr. Roberts, whose mother is a Uchinanchu, symbolize the friendly relationship between the U.S. and Japan.


(4) Meaning of Jersey Number "80"

Eighty years ago, Okinawa became a fierce battle site toward the end of World War II. A monument called the "Cornerstone of Peace" in Itoman City, Okinawa Prefecture, bears the names of approximately 240,000 who have fallen, regardless of their side or country, including 14,000 American soldiers.
On this milestone occasion of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, Governor Denny Tamaki will deliver the first pitch to Manager Dave Roberts to convey the spirit of Okinawan people who desire peace.

Vacation ownership clubs are answering that call with point-based ownership structures, offering portfolios that span the gamut of destinations, including beaches, mountains, lakes, and entertainment hubs. “We’ve built a vacation ownership experience that mirrors the way people want to travel today,” said Travis Bary, Co-President of Capital Vacations. “Whether you want a traditional family week at the beach, a long weekend in the mountains, or a spontaneous trip to a new destination, our flexible points-based model gives members the power to choose—without sacrificing quality or consistency.” From the sugar-sand beaches of the Gulf Coast to the forested slopes of the Smoky Mountains, Capital Vacations resorts are regionally rich and thoughtfully located. Highlights of the network include: • Oceanfront favorites in the Myrtle Beach, SC, and the Daytona Beach, FL areas • Mountain vacations in Gatlinburg, TN, and Banner Elk, NC • Charming New England adventures in Cape Cod • Entertainment capitals like Branson, MO, and Orlando, FL • Laid-back lakefront stays in the Breezy Point, MN • Island adventures in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands The Club Membership program gives members full control over how and when they travel.

With more than 200 resorts in the Capital Vacations network, plus the opportunity to use points to exchange for resorts within the RCI network, the number of destinations to choose from expands to 4300 resort properties around the world. “The future of vacation ownership isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s modular, intuitive, and responsive,” added Bary. “Our goal is to make ownership work for each individual and family, not the other way around.” As interest in vacation ownership continues to grow across all age groups, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z, Capital Vacations is well-positioned to lead the industry with a model that prizes variety, freedom, and real-world value.

RPP zgodna co do potrzeby obniżania stóp procentowych. Trwają dyskusje dotyczące tempa tych decyzji

W lipcu Rada Polityki Pieniężnej po raz drugi w tym roku obniżyła stopy procentowe, określając swój ruch mianem dostosowania. W kolejnych miesiącach można oczekiwać kolejnych obniżek, ale ich tempo i termin będą zależeć od efektów dotychczasowych decyzji i wzrostu płac. Docelowo główna stopa procentowa ma wynosić 3,5 proc.

Umowa z krajami Mercosur coraz bliżej. W. Buda: Polska nie wykorzystała swojej prezydencji do jej zablokowania

– Polska podczas prezydencji w Radzie UE nie wykorzystała szansy na obronę swoich interesów w sprawie umowy z krajami Mercosur – ocenia europoseł PiS Waldemar Buda. W jego ocenie polski rząd, mimo sprzeciwu wobec zapisów umowy, nie zbudował w UE sojuszy niezbędnych do jej odrzucenia. Porozumienie o wolnym handlu spotyka się przede wszystkim z protestami europejskich rolników, którzy obawiają się zalania wspólnego rynku tańszą żywnością z krajów Ameryki Południowej. Według europosła wszystko może się rozegrać w najbliższych tygodniach.
