Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark (; born 10 July 1965) is the eldest child of King Constantine II of Greece and Anne-Marie of Denmark, who were King and Queen of Greece from 1964 until the abolition of the monarchy in 1973. She was heiress presumptive to the Greek throne from her birth in 1965 until the birth of her brother Crown Prince Pavlos in 1967.

Early life

Alexia was born on 10 July 1965 at Mon Repos, a villa on the Greek island of Corfu used at the time as a summer residence by the Greek royal family. She was the first child born to the then King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie of the Hellenes. At the time of her birth, her father was King of Greece, her grandfather was King of Denmark, and her great-grandfather was King of Sweden.
As the monarch's only child, between her own birth and the birth on 20 May 1967 of her brother Pavlos, Alexia was heir presumptive to the throne of the Hellenes, then an existing monarchy. The Greek Constitution of 1952 had changed Greece's order of succession to the throne from Salic law to male-preference primogeniture.

Alexia grew up in exile and was raised in between Rome and London. Before her education at the Hellenic College of London, she attended the Miss Surtee’s School for Boys and Girls in Rome, Italy. After Hellenic College, she went to the Froebel College of the Roehampton Institute, a division of the University of Surrey, in 1985 and took a BA in History and Education in 1988.
In 1989, she achieved a Post Graduate Certificate of Education and became a primary school teacher in the inner city area of Southwark in London between 1989 and 1992 before moving to Barcelona where she became a teacher of children with developmental disabilities.
Marriage and children
On 9 July 1999, Alexia married Carlos Javier Morales Quintana, an architect and a champion yachtsman, at St. Sophia Cathedral, London. The princess wore a gown by the Austrian designer Inge Sprawson. Her attendants were her sister Princess Theodora, her niece Princess Maria-Olympia, and Princess Mafalda, daughter of Kyril, Prince of Preslav, a son of former King Simeon of Bulgaria.  

The couple have four children: 

Arrietta Morales y de Grecia (b. 24 February 2002, Barcelona)
Anna-Maria Morales y de Grecia (b. 15 May 2003, Barcelona)
Carlos Morales y de Grecia (b. 30 July 2005, Barcelona)
Amelia Morales y de Grecia (b. 26 October 2007, Barcelona) 

Alexia and her family now live in her husband's homeland, at Puerto Calero marina, Yaiza, Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, in a house designed by her husband.

The halo effect is the effect where one quality about something or someone can affect the overall judgment of that thing or person by someone else. It is a cognitive bias in the field of psychology. It is also sometimes called the halo error.

History 

The halo effect was first introduced in 1920 by Edward Thorndike. It was used to describe how thoughts about one part of something can change how other parts of that thing are seen. An example is how good someone looks can make people think that the person is good at other things just because they look good. When the halo effect is talked about it is mostly used to talk about how it affects people, but it can be used for things like companies or people of a country

Usage
Usage 

The halo effect is seen in many different ways. One way it is seen is for trust. People that are better looking are seen as easier to trust. Another way it is seen is with personality. If someone has a bad personality then other things about them start to seem bad. In one study there was a college instructor who spoke English with a European accent. He did an interview with two different groups. In one of them he was friendly and in the other one he was not friendly. The group that he was friendly to said good things about him like saying his appearance and accent was good. The group that he was not friendly to said bad things like his appearance and accent were not things they liked. Interestingly, the group that did not like the instructor thought they didn't like him because of things like appearance and accent.
Another way the halo effect is seen is in academia. Students that are seen as more attractive are also seen as more intelligent. People also think that students who are more attractive do better in their studies. This can affect the education of students because of the pygmalion effect. The attractive students would get better things and do better in their studies just because they are attractive. This can also affect jobs. Studies have shown that people are more likely to hire an attractive candidate for a job over an unattractive candidate.  This is because of the halo effect. The people that are hiring think that the more attractive people will be better at the jobs just because of their appearance. 

Halo effect is also seen with criminals. Criminals that are more attractive are more likely to get less punishment for crimes than criminals that are seen as unattractive. They were less likely to be arrested or convicted.
Attractive people were also shown to be more successful in influencing others. One study had children try to influence their classmates. They were offered money as a reward so that they would try their best. The attractive males and females were most successful when it came to trying to influence people of the opposite gender. The unattractive males were most succesful when it came to influencing their own gender. 

One study also found that unattractive people were seen as more likely to do bad things that break the rules. Similarly, attractive people were more likely to break the rules to do good things.

Issues
Issues 

Some people believe there are problems with the halo effect. As an example, one study suggests that the halo effect is not found everywhere. The study says that sometimes people think the halo effect is affecting something when it is not. This is known as illusory halo. Another study suggested that the halo effect can affect times where a student has to give a review of a teacher. The students may rate the teacher badly because of things that are unrelated. However, it says that even if the halo effect is there it does not make the review meaningless.

Another study suggested that the halo effect can support information that is not in the best interest of science. The study used the example of how people that review scientific journals will give better ratings if they belong to the same field of study. This would have the bad effect of not supporting the best quality information.

The raven would make a sound of "Yes" to signal the appearance of the being and "Muya" when it did not appear.

According to the Kojiki, Kotoshironushi is the son of Ōkuninushi, who is the earthly deity of Izumo province in Japan. When the heavenly deities sent Takemikazuchi to conquer Izumo, Ōkuninushi left the decision of whether to resist to his two sons. Kotoshironushi, who was fishing at the time of Takemikizuchi's arrival, agreed to accept the rule of the heavenly gods, surrendered his spear, and left Izumo. On the other hand, his brother Takeminakata fought against Takemikazuchi and was defeated.

Kotoshironushi is considered the main deity of the Asuka Shrine and is linked to Ebisu, another Shinto god. In Japanese mythology, Kotoshironushi served as an advisor to Empress Jingū during her invasion of Korea. He was also one of the eight deities responsible for protecting the Imperial Court. He is also known as the father of Himetataraisuzu-hime, who became the wife of Emperor Jimmu.

A Matsuri float, also known as a dashi or sansha, is a type of float that is either pulled or carried during a festival in Japan. It is a general term used to refer to any float that is used for this purpose.

Dashi are one of three large structures at Japanese festivals alongside Yatai, and Mikoshi.

The terminology used for Matsuri floats can be inconsistent and varies by region in Japan. Some of the most common names used for these floats include Kasaboko, Danjiri, Yamahoko, Yamakasa, and Hikimono. Furthermore, Dashi and Yatai floats are sometimes called hikiyama and yama.
Dashi floats (山車) are an important component of Japanese festivals, and were originally designed to look like mountains. This reflects the concept of Mountain worship, where people believed that spirits resided in the mountains. The spears and swords that adorn the tops of the dashi serve as markers for these divine spirits, and people ride on top of the dashi to help welcome the gods. Dashi have wheels and are pulled by people, and can carry passengers as well.

Mikoshi is used to carry kami in a procession called Shinko-shiki. People carry the Mikoshi on their shoulders, while dashi is pulled by people. People are not allowed to ride on a mikoshi because it is only for gods..
Dashi floats can be seen in many festivals in Japan, such as the Takayama Matsuri in Gifu Prefecture and the Kanda Matsuri in Tokyo. During the Takayama Matsuri, ten dashi floats go through the city in the day and at night. The Kanda Matsuri has both dashi floats and mikoshi, with people wearing traditional clothes walking through the streets.

A census of the population of the United Kingdom is taken every ten years. The 2011 census was held in all countries of the UK on 27 March 2011. It was the first UK census which could be completed online. The Office for National Statistics is responsible for the census in England and Wales, the General Register Office for Scotland  is responsible in Scotland, and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency is responsible  in Northern Ireland.
The 2011 census for England and Wales included around 25 million households. Forms were posted out to all households, using a national address register compiled by the Office for National Statistics with the help of local authorities.  Lockheed Martin was awarded the contract to provide services for the census: printing, a  contact centre and data capture and processing. The contract was for £150 million, about one third of the total £482 million cost.  Some people called for a boycott of the census over the involvement of Lockheed Martin, but as the Census is used to distribute money to local services a council may lose £22,000 over 10 years for each person who does not complete it.

35,000 people were employed to help collect the forms.
There were 56 questions.  Several were new.   It asked immigrants their date of arrival and how long they intended to stay in the UK. There were  tick boxes for same-sex civil partnerships. National identity included English and Welsh.  Ethnicity included Gypsy or Irish Traveller and Arab.  People were asked  how well they could speak English. There was a question about the number of bedrooms a household has, as well as the names, gender and birth dates of any overnight guests.

The questions in Scotland and Northern Ireland were slightly different from those in England.

Yaoyorozu no Kami (八百万の神, Eight Million Gods) are gods belonging to the Shinto religion. The phrase "eight million gods" in Shinto religion doesn't mean there are exactly 8 million gods. It means there are too many gods to count. At the time infinity wasn't a known concept.. And 8 is a lucky number in Buddhism

This doctrine says there are countless Kami, including those that control natural phenomena such as the ocean, mountains, and wind, as well as those that are closely linked to human life. Ancestors and influential figures who have achieved great things for their communities are also respected as "Kami." Many Shinto customs and stories were documented in Kojiki and Nihon shoki, written records from the Nara Period..
All things, including the Gods, humans, and objects, come from , the first and supreme God. Ame-no-Minakanushi is the source of the universe and life, and is considered the principle of life. Life is at the center of both universal and human doctrines because everything originates from this supreme life. The nature of life is to expand itself. 

Some of the 8 million kami are tutelary deities, but most kami do not receive any worship.

Shinto believes in multiple gods and acknowledges that Kami are present in everything, such as weather, geography, and landscape. Yaoyorozu no Kami describes the numerous gods that exist in the world. These gods are often depicted as having human-like qualities and forms. They are believed to be protector deities that can bring blessings or harm to humans. They are also called "guardian gods" that provide blessings to people, but they can also torture or harass humans. This dual nature of Kami makes them both revered and feared..
The concept that all things are manifestations of the divine in Shinto has resulted in the integration of foreign deities into the religion. As a result, Shinto has incorporated Buddhist and Confucian elements, over time..

A tetromino is a shape made up of four squares directly connected to each other by their edges.

If one considers a tetromino that has been moved (translated), turned (rotated) or flipped (reflected) to be the same shape, there are five distinct tetrominoes. These are known as free tetrominoes.

Tetrominoes are well known for being the game pieces used in the video game Tetris, which was created by Alexey Pajitnov. Tetris uses one-sided tetrominoes, which can be translated and rotated but not reflected. This makes for a total of seven tetrominoes.

Rosa Wurzer or Wurtzer of Uniontown, Washington, was a woman who sat in a Washington prison and later in a mental hospital for drowning her six children. 

Wurtzer drowned them in a well on February 23, 1901. She was likely suffering from a mental illness which likely begun shortly before her husband died. She got inspired about a book which likely led her to murder them. 

Wurtzer admitted to the crime and was summoned before a superior court where she had no remorse. Because she claimed that her children were "Now in heaven and safe out of this wicked world." Two physicians who examined her body had came to the conclusion that she was mentally insane and was suffering from religious melancholia. She was then sent to a mental hospital. 

When her husband Joseph Wurtzer, who worked by doing masonry and who died two years before the murders of his six children was alive, he told a fellow traveler that his wife was without a doubt crazy. 
When her husband died, her mental illness worsened.

Shugendō is a religion that originated in Japan during the Nara Period. It combines beliefs, philosophies, doctrines, and ritual systems from local folk religions, Shinto mountain worship, and Buddhism. Shugendō is a highly syncretic religion and is considered a body of ascetic practices. The goal of Shugendō is for practitioners to find supernatural power and save themselves and others by conducting religious training while walking through steep mountain ranges. Those who practice Shugendō are called Shugenja or Yamabushi, which means "Mountain Prostrator". The practice of Shugendō takes place on mountains all over Japan, including various mountains in the Ōmine mountain range, such as Mount Hakkyō and Mount Ōmine.
The Shugendō worldview incorporates a vast array of deities, including figures from both Buddhism and Shintoism. Two significant figures are the tantric Buddhist deities of Fudō Myōō and Dainichi Nyorai. Gongen is another essential figure in Shugendō, referring to the manifestation of Buddhas as Japanese Kami. One of the most significant Gongen in Shugendō is Zaō Gongen..

is a crow in Shinto stories and is an important character in their mythology. According to the tale, during Emperor Jimmu's Eastern Expedition, Yatagarasu guided him from the Kumano Region to Yamato Province. Takamimusubi, one of the Shinto gods, sent the crow.

Yatagarasu is usually shown as a bird with three legs, and its picture has been passed down for many years.. Its name comes from the words "八咫烏," which means "eight-span crow" in Japanese. The number eight means a large lucky number in Japanese culture as in the phrase Yaoyorozu no Kami or eight million gods. So this means large wingspan crow

In Shinto beliefs, when the great bird is seen, it is a sign of divine intervention in human affairs or the will of Heaven. The crow's guidance is regarded as a blessing and a good omen.

A mikoshi is a special type of portable shrine that is considered sacred in the Shinto religion in Japan. It is used to carry a deity during festivals or when moving to a new shrine. It looks like a small building with walls, pillars, a roof, a veranda, and a railing.

In Japanese, "o-" (お) is often added to the front to make the word "omikoshi" (お神輿). This prefix is used to show respect or politeness, and is commonly added to words that are considered important or sacred.

Moving a kami with one in a festival is called Shinko-shiki. Omikoshi are common in parades alongside Matsuri floats

Sorei is a Japanese word that means "Founder/Ancestor/Antecedent Spirit". It refers to the spirits of ancestors who have been the subject of special memorial services that are held at fixed times after their death. The specific dates and frequencies of these services vary throughout Japan..   Some suitable occasions for these services are 33 and 50 years after the death of the ancestor.

There is a belief that the memorial services cause the ancestral spirit to gradually lose its individuality and eventually become a part of the collective sorei. However, in some regions, people believe that these services are simply meant to dispose or pacify the ancestral spirit.

According to the folklorist Yanagita Kunio, the rituals and beliefs surrounding sorei suggest that ancestors can become protectors or kami. Many scholars disagree. The Japanese word for the departed soul, hotoke, can also mean Buddha.

, also known as , is a shinto shrine located in the Gion District of Kyoto, Japan. It is the central shrine of Gion worship. It sits at the east end of Fourth Avenue and has various buildings such as gates, a main hall, and a stage. The shrine worships Susanoo as its main deity, along with his partner Kushinadahime on the east and eight other gods known as yahashira no mikogami on the west. These eight gods include Yashimajinumi no kami, Itakeru no kami, Ōyatsuhime no kami, Tsumatsuhime no kami, Ōtoshi no kami, Ukanomitama no kami, Ōyatsuhiko no kami, and Suseribime no mikoto..
History 
The Shrine was first built in 656 and during the early Heian period, it gained support from the Imperial family..  In 965, Emperor Murakami ordered the practice of presenting heihaku, or offerings of white cloth, to the guardian kami of Japan to report important events. Initially, these offerings were presented to 16 shrines.; In 991, Emperor Ichijō expanded the list of shrines to which important events were reported to by adding three more shrines to the existing 16 on Emperor Murakami's list. Three years later, in 994, Emperor Ichijō further refined the list by adding Umenomiya Shrine and Gion Shrine..

From 1871 to 1946, Yasaka Shrine was recognized as one of the Kanpei-taisha (officially ranked Imperial shrines), which placed it in the highest tier of government-supported shrines..
Matsuri 
In 869, Japan suffered from a severe epidemic, and the Emperor believed it was caused by vengeful spirits. To calm these spirits, a Shinto ritual was performed at Shinsenen, a lake at the Imperial Palace. Representatives used 66 pikes for each of the 66 regions in the country at that time. This ritual was known as goryo-e, and later became an annual event called the Gion Matsuri, associated with the Gion Shrine in Kyoto. Over time, the pikes were decorated and became larger, eventually evolving into the well-known Gion Matsuri yamaboko floats.. During the Gion Matsuri festival, the decorated Gion Matsuri yamaboko floats and portable shrines from Yasaka Shrine travel through the main streets of Kyoto to purify them and protect against epidemics and other harm. This festival takes place every July and has gained global recognition.
Yasaka Shrine is a popular destination for people to celebrate traditional Japanese New Year rituals and for cherry blossom viewing in April, as crowds pass through the temple on their way to Maruyama Park. The shrine also hosts lanterns on its stage which display the names of festival sponsors.

refers to the 492 shrines listed as Shikinai Taisha in the Engishiki Jinmyocho in the early Heian period, or shrines that call themselves ``~ taisha''. The term became more strict in the Empire of Japan. In the past, simply speaking of Ōyashiro (Kunyomi of Taisha) generally meant Izumo Taisha ( Izumo City , Shimane Prefecture ). After the war, many shrines with the rank of taisha, such as the former Kanpei Taisha Shrine and the former Kokupei Taisha Shrine, called themselves taisha. An example is shown below.

Shikinai Taisha 
Shikinai Taisha (式内大社) are shrines that are listed in volumes 9 and 10 of the "Engishiki" as Shinto shrines, also known as Shikinaisha, that are ranked as major shrines. There are 492 of these shrines listed. This category includes both the historical shrines and their modern equivalents. However, shrines that are designated as "Myojin Taisha" are not included in this category.

See the category Shikinai Taisha for a list of such Taisha not also listed as Myojin Taisha
List of Taisha 
Prior to World War II only two shrines were called Taisha: Izumo-taisha and Kumano Taisha, but after the war many historical taishas changed their names back to Taisha. Here is the list of such shrines. Shikinai Taisha are not included because of how large the list would be

Former Taisha 
There are some shrines which formerly called themselves Taisha but not anymore. All of them were ranked as Kanpei-Taisha or the highest rank in the Shakaku

  - The word "Hikawa Taisha" appears on the bag of votive offerings.
  - There used to be a sign that said "Hirano Taisha" on the gate.
  - A sign that reads "Hiraoka Taisha" is still present in front of the old station of Hiraoka.
  - Generally referred to as "Omamazu Ikoma Shrine".
Controversy over the Taisha name 
Izumo Taisha has expressed its concern about other shrines using the title "Taisha" as it goes against the traditional beliefs and values of shrines. According to an article in the Izumo Taisha organ paper 'Yugen', their parent deity, Ogami, is revered as "Oyashiro" and Izumo Taisha is the only shrine that has been inscribed as a "taisha" since the Nara Heian period. In the past, when people spoke of "Taisha", they were referring to Izumo Oyashiro, which was the residence of the Omikami (great god). However, over time, other shrines started using the name "Taisha". Izumo Taisha believes that this goes against the traditional belief in only one god and may cause confusion and misunderstanding among people. They fear that the prayers of their predecessors over many generations may not be conveyed correctly and that the people of today will use their own ways of calling things as they please, which could ultimately damage the virtues of the gods.

Ōkuninushi is a god in Japanese stories. He is worshipped in Shinto. He is important in Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, two old books about myths. Ōkuninushi is one of the most important gods, along with Amaterasu and Susanoo. He is more important in Izumo Shinto than Ise Shinto. Some stories say Susanoo is Ōkuninushi's ancestor and others say he is his father. In the stories, Ōkuninushi is in charge of the gods who protect the earth. He used to be the ruler of a place called Ashihara no Nakatsukuni. But when the gods in the sky asked him to give up his power, Ōkuninushi agreed and went to a hidden world. He was given that world to rule. Later, Amaterasu's grandson, Ninigi, came to Ashihara no Nakatsukuni to rule it. Ninigi became the first Japanese emperor's ancestor.
Ōkuninushi is associated with the province of Izumo. This region may have been taken over by the Yamato court, and his surrender to the gods of heaven in myth might reflect this. The Fudoki, a gazetteer report of Izumo province from the early 7th century, contains many myths about Ōkuninushi and related deities. He is also featured in the Fudoki of other provinces like Harima. Ōkuninushi is known for having many romantic affairs with goddesses, resulting in the birth of many divine offspring, including the gods Kotoshironushi and Takeminakata.

Ōkuninushi is worshiped in many Shinto shrines across Japan, but the most famous one is the Grand Shrine of Izumo in Shimane. The Izumo Taishakyō group, which is based in this shrine, considers him their central deity. Ōkuninushi was also combined with the Buddhist deity Daikokuten before the Meiji period, when Buddhism and Shinto were blended.

State Shinto was a system of government policy in the Japanese Empire where the government controlled the religion of Shinto and enforced it on the population. This included non-Japanese people in their colonies. This was justified by a theory called Secular Shrine Theory where Shinto shrines were considered secular.
