Tholpuram Valakkamparai Muthumariamman Temple
Tholpuram Valakkamparai Muthumariamman Temple is a Hindu temple in Valakkamparai, Tholpuram, Sri Lanka.
People once thought that Tholpuram Valakkamparai Muthumariamman came on her own to this spot because she thought it would be a good place to live, as there was lots of nature in the area.
The book Jaffna, which was written by Muthuthambipillai on July 22nd, 1912, says that Saravanamuthu Muthaliyar was Panchayathu's judge and the place where he had his court is known as Sathiyakadu which was in Tholpuram. During the time when the Masoorika disease attacked the people violently, people got permission from the Dutch Governor and built the Amman temple and started the prayer so that the disease could come down.
According to the available documents just before or after the year 1650, this temple was built with burnt bricks by Alakakone Muthaliyar. The descendants of the above person,one Ramalingam Kailayapillai reconstructed this temple with strong stones at the expense of general public in the land called Valakkamparai situated at Tholpuram.
The main religious festivals (which includes the Chariot Festival) at the temple are celebrated during June or July.

Maruoka Castle
Maruoka Castle (丸岡城, "Maruoka-jō") is in Sakai, Fukui Prefecture. It is also called Kasumi-ga-jō (霞ヶ城). The castle tower was built between 1624 to 1644. It is one of the 12 Existing Castle Towers in Japan (現存十二天守, "genzon-jūni-tenshu"), and also one of the national important cultural properties.
In 1576, Nobunaga Oda ordered Katsutoyo Shibata to build Maruoka Castle to get ready for the ikkō-ikki, a rebellion by believers of the Jōdo Shinshū sect of Buddhism in the 15th-16th centuries. In 1613, Narushige Honda became the first lord, castle owner, of the Maruoka Castle. After the Honda family, the Arima family were lords of Maruoka Castle from 1695 to 1869. Shigesumi Arima was lord from 1772 to 1830. He rebuilt the local domain economy. On 8 July 1948,  an earthquake hit Fukui. The quake destroyed the castle tower of Maruoka Castle. But, in 1955 the castle tower was repaired by recycling more than 70% of the original materials of Maruoka Castle.
Maruoka Castle’s stone walls are about 6.2 meters high. The stone walls were built using "nozura-zumi" (野面積み), an architectural method to build stone walls with a good system of drains. This protects the building from damage by heavy rain. Maruoka Castle is also famous for its steep stairs. The stairs that go up from the first floor to the second floor are at an angle of 65 degrees. The stairs from the second floor to the third floor are at an angle of 67 degrees.
About 400 cherry trees were planted around Maruoka Castle, and this place was chosen as one of the Japan’s Top 100 Cherry Blossom Viewing Sites in 1990. There is a Cherry Blossom Festival there every year.
Shigetsugu Honda, whose son was the first lord of Maruoka Castle, sent a letter to his wife during a war at Shitaragahara in 1575.
"A brief message. Don't start a fire. Don't make Osen cry. Feed my horses."
This letter is said to be famous for the shortest letter in Japan, and there is a stone monument engraved with this letter in Maruoka Castle. In 1993, this contest was started to let more people know that the shortest letter was in Maruoka Castle.
This museum was opened in March 2019. On the first floor, there are exhibits of Maruoka folklore, and on the second floor, there are exhibits of the history of Maruoka Castle.
This museum opened on 23 August 2015. In this museum, the winning works of the Contest of Brief Massages are exhibited.

Habutae
Habutae is a type of silk. There are different kinds of "habutae" silk such as plain or striped "habutae". "Habutae" is traditionally used for kimono and undershirts. Recently, it is also used for general goods, works of art, and clothing. "Habutae" is smooth to touch, glossy, and soft. It has been said "The quality of silk fabric begins with habutae and ends with it." "Fukui" is a suitable region to produce "habutae" as the dryness and wetness of the air are well-balanced throughout the whole year.
In 1871, Kimimasa Yuri, who was a lord of "Fukui" Domain (region), brought some silk goods from Europe to Fukui when he joined a study tour in Europe. He showed the goods to people who studied silks in "Fukui" and they started doing technical research on weaving "habutae". In 1887, basic technology for weaving "habutae" silk was completed in "Fukui" city. The economic boom of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 and World War I boosted progress and production of "habutae" in "Fukui". In the early 1900s, production of "habutae" in Fukui earned 1.7 million dollars, up to 60 % of the total exports of "habutae" in Japan. The demand for "habutae" made in "Fukui" has kept increasing in Japan, and it is used in many kinds of daily goods such as closing even now.
Most of the process of making Fukui "habutae" silk is the same as the process of making "habutae" in other areas, but the weaving process of Fukui "habutae" silk is different from the weaving process of "habutae" in other areas. Also, the weaving process is the most important part of making Fukui "habutae" silk. Fukui "habutae" silk is made in a process called "nureyoko(濡れ横)". "Nureyoko" is a weaving method of weaving warps and wefts which is the two basic components of weaving thread into fabric after wetting wefts with water. Threads are made from raw silks that are imported from other countries such as China and Brazil. This process makes the cloth tight, elastic, and strong. It takes one day to weave 20 meters of "habutae".

The National Diet Building (国会議事堂, Kokkai-gijidō) is the building where both houses of the Japan's government, the Diet, meet. It is located at Nagatachō 1-chome 7–1, Chiyoda, Tokyo.
Sessions of the House of Representatives take place in the left wing and sessions of the House of Councillors in the right wing.
The Diet Building was completed in 1936 and is made of only Japanese materials, except for the stained glass, door locks, and pneumatic tube system.
Plans for a Diet building began in 1881. The planners hoped to finish it by 1890, when the Diet would meet for the first time. They realized they could not build a very impressive building in time, so they decided to make temporary buildings at first. The first Diet building was a Western-style building made of wood. It burned down in 1891. Another wooden building was made and finished in 1891. It burned down in 1925. A third building was made. The Diet used it until 1936, when the current Diet building was finished.
In 1910, the Finance Ministry started a planning group to take control over the new Diet Building design from the Home Ministry. Prime Minister Katsura Tarō chaired the commission, which recommended that the new building should be made in the Italian Renaissance architectural style. Many other people did not like this idea.
The ministry had a public design competition in 1918. 118 architect teams sent designs. The first prize winner, Watanabe Fukuzo, produced a design similar to Ende and Böckmann's.
The Diet Building was built between 1920 and 1936 with a floor plan based on Fukuzo's entry. The roof and tower of the building might have been inspired by another entrant, third prize winner Takeuchi Shinshichi, and are believed to have been chosen because they mixed European and East Asian architecture. The actual source for the "Pyramid" roof remains unclear, but Japanese historian Jonathan Reynolds suggests it might have come from from Shinshichi. Historian of Africa studies Zoe Strother says Shinshichi's design resembles the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, which was a model for some prominent Western designs in the early 1900s, such as John Russell Pope's 1911 award-winning House of the Temple in Washington, D.C. and the downtown Los Angeles City Hall, completed in 1928.

Photosystem II
Photosystem II is a large protein complex. It is the first protein complex in the light-dependent reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis.
The complex is in the thylakoid membrane of plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.
In the photosystem, enzymes capture photons of light to energize electrons. The electrons are then transferred by coenzymes and cofactors. The energized electrons are replaced by oxidizing water to form hydrogen ions and molecular oxygen.
By replenishing lost electrons with electrons from the splitting of water, photosystem II provides the electrons for photosynthesis to occur.

Echizen forged knives
Echizen forged knives are traditional knives made in Echizen City, Fukui prefecture, Japan. Characteristics of these products are the two techniques, which are called "Nimai hiroge" (= double layering) and "Mawashi hagane tsuke" (= shaping the knife). Thanks to these characteristic techniques, they were chosen as the earliest traditional craft for forged knives in 1979.
The origin of Echizen forged knives goes back to the early Nanboku-cho period (in the early 14th century). In 1337, Kuniyasu Chiyotsuru, a sword maker from Kyoto Prefecture in Japan, moved to "Echizen no kuni" (=present Echizen city), and  made sickles (=one kind of farming tools) for citizens who live there. While he stayed there, he thought how to make the products for many citizens, and many of them began to make the products referring to his techniques. Since then, the Echizen city became a big producing area which was famous for the farmer tools . During the Edo period (from the 17th to the 19th century), merchants selling sickles, which are farming tools,  walked from "Echizen no kun"i to many places around Japan such as Osaka prefecture or Tokyo Prefecture to sell these tools made in Echizen city. As these products were sold in markets, their high quality such as lightness or sharpness was evaluated, so forged knives made in Echizen city became popular around Japan. Now, Echizen forged knives produce many other products such as hatchets that are used for cutting trees in addition to knives.
The two main important processes:  "nimai hiroge" and "mawashi hagane tsuke".
...The blade is evenly thinned by stretching the two layered plates
through beating both sides with a high-speed machine hammer.
...The tip of the blade is sharpened carefully to be close to the shape of diamond.

Two-party system
There are several states in the world, where politics is dominated by two parties. This is known as two-party system. According to Giovanni Sartori, the following is true for such as system:
The Median voter theorem describes such a system: While at first the parties have programmes that are very different from each other, over time, they will get closer. Hotelling's law also describes this in game theory.
Note that in such systems, there may also be other parties, bur these rarely have enough influence to win majorities in elections.
Examples of states that have a two party system are the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Median voter theorem
The median voter theorem is a theroem from political economics: Suppose there are two parties: One is a left-wing party, the other is a right-wing party. Voters either vote for the left-wing party L, or the right-wing party R. In an election, L has an interest to shift its position towards the middle, so that it can get voters from the other party R. Similarly, R has an interest to shift its position towards the middle, so ir can get voters from L.
