Gion worship
The primary shrines of the Gion faith are Yasaka Shrine located in Kyoto and Hiromine Shrine in Hyogo Prefecture..
The Gion faith originated in the Heian period with the purpose of preventing epidemics by pacifying the god of pestilence. In the late 10th century, people in Kyoto started holding an annual festival at Yasaka Shrine (then known as Gion Shrine), which eventually became the famous Gion festival. By the Middle Ages, the Gion faith had spread throughout Japan, and Gion shrines or Gyozo tenno shrines were established to enshrine Gyozo tenno. The Goryokai or Tenno Festival was held as a ritual procession during this time.
During the Meiji era, the government implemented a policy of separating Shinto and Buddhism, known as Shinbutsu Bunri. As a result, many Shinto shrines that had previously been associated with Buddhist practices and deities were forced to disassociate themselves from Buddhism. In the case of the Gion Shrine and the Gozu Tenno Shrine, they had to change their names and say Gozu tenno was Susanoo. This was a part of a larger effort to promote Shinto as the national religion of Japan and distance it from foreign influences, particularly Buddhism..
While the worship of Susanoo is often associated with the Gion faith and its origin in the Gozu Tenno deity, there are also many other shrines that worship Susanoo in their own independent traditions. Some of these shrines, such as Susa Shrine and Yaegaki Shrine, have been worshipping Susanoo for centuries before the practice of worshipping Gozu Tenno was prohibited. These shrines have their own unique practices and beliefs, separate from the Gion faith.
There are many Gion shrines. Yasaka Shrine being the most prominent

The mountain itself, Mount Yudono, is highly regarded as a training ground for ascetic discipline, and many yamabushi and ascetics believe that their pilgrimage is not complete until they reach the summit of Mount Yudono. The mountain is known for its goshintai, a sacred object believed to be connected to a god.., and they use a prominent rock as a shintai.. The shrine on Mount Yudono is regarded as holy ground and is kept secret, with photography and video recordings being strictly prohibited even today.

Yield sign
In road transport, a yield or give way sign indicates that merging drivers must prepare to stop if necessary to let a driver on another approach proceed. A driver who stops or slows down to let another vehicle through has yielded the right of way to that vehicle. In contrast, a stop sign requires each driver to stop completely before proceeding, whether or not other traffic is present. Under the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, the international standard for the modern sign is an inverted equilateral triangle with a red border and either a white or yellow background. Particular regulations regarding appearance, installation, and compliance with the signs vary by some jurisdiction.

People in Japan have been practicing nature worship for a very long time. This means they believe that gods and spirits live in nature. In Shinto ceremonies, they believe the gods come from a special rock called shintai. They use a special object called yorishiro, which represents the gods' power and is placed at the center of the ceremony.
As time went by and temples became more permanent, the focus of worship shifted from the body of the gods to the shrines themselves. Sacred trees and stones, decorated with shimenawa ropes, can still be found in many temple grounds.
Alongside the belief in rocks, Japan also has various other forms of nature worship. For instance, Chinju no Mori is a belief where certain areas are considered forbidden and off-limits. Munakata Taisha's Okinoshima is another example of a sacred island where the spirits of ancestors are believed to reside. Additionally, there are mountain worships, such as Rokko Himei Shrine and Mount Miwa, as well as beliefs in natural elements like fire, waterfalls, wind, rain, and lightning.
Another rock-related object in Shinto is called Iwasaka, which is believed to be a ritual site that centers on a rock. However, compared to Iwaza, there is little evidence of its existence. The Nihonshoki (Chronicles of Japan) distinguishes Iwasaka from Iwaza, suggesting that it is a distinct object. Additionally, a banjiki is similar to a stone circle and serves as a boundary that marks the divine realm and preserves the sacredness of the site.
Along the Kaido, some megaliths have carvings related to Buddhism, while others have legends associated with them, such as the tale of a famous samurai who bridged horses. The Iwakura Gakkai research group believes that the worship of rock formations and megaliths can be traced back to the Jomon period. They argue that some rock formations were artificially arranged to represent certain figures, directions, or even the shape of a constellation. However, the Iwakura Society disputes this view, stating that the Iwakura ritual did not begin until the Kofun period. Additionally, there is criticism of the idea that megaliths are human-made artifacts.
An iwasaka is a type of stone altar or mound used in ancient Shinto practices as a yorishiro, or an object used as a dwelling place for a kami, or a god or spirit. The purpose of an iwasaka is to call upon the kami for worship. The words iwasaka and iwakura are often used interchangeably since their meanings are very similar.
Shinboku
A , which means "god tree" in English, is a tree or forest that is worshipped as a physical object of worship at or near a Shinto shrine. It is believed to be a repository in which spirits or reside. Shinboku are often wrapped in , which makes them distinctly visible.
Nature worship, also called Himikura Shinto, is a component of the traditional Shinto religion that emerged in Japan. This form of worship is founded on appreciation, awe, and reverence for kami (spirits or deities), life, and the natural world. In ancient Shinto rituals, symbolic items such as trees were utilized as vessels for Shinto deities in areas where the environment underwent changes.
For many years, Shinto shrines and rituals have been shaped by foreign religions and evolved independently, resulting in a variety of Shinto forms. Japan now has tens of thousands of Shinto shrines, with many built on the grounds of ancient Shinto shrines. These shrines may include sacred trees, iwakura, rock formations, steles, or mounds, representing Japan's history of nature worship.
Some shrines in Shinto worship a sacred tree instead of having a physical structure. In Shinto rituals, evergreen trees with pointed branches, known as tamagushi, are used as a substitute for the gods to descend from. The most popular type of tamagushi is the sakaki tree, but other species such as hisakaki and ogatama no ki are used in regions where sakaki does not grow naturally (areas north of the Kanto region).
In general, a "tadakushi" refers to a branch that has been cut down to be offered to the gods, while a "sacred tree" is a tree that is still rooted in the earth and worshipped by many people.
Kami-yorigi, also called kanjinboku, are objects that serve as a dwelling place for the gods and are given special treatment by being decorated with shimenawa. The Nageia nagi tree is one example of a yorishiro that is also adorned with shimenawa. Common types of yorishiro include the Nageia nagi tree, mochinoki tree, and cedar tree.
Some trees are also treated as sacred trees for their own sake, such as the cedar trees at Ise Grand Shrine. These trees are considered special and separate from the gods, and are preserved to maintain the shrine's natural scenery and solemn atmosphere. In addition, those who work in the mountains may temporarily enshrine a tree that stands out as a substitute for the god of the mountain.
The gohei is a special item used in Shinto ceremonies. It's made from sakaki and nagi, and is sometimes referred to as a sacred tree. However, it was originally created as a replacement for a real sacred tree in ancient Shinto practices.
In old Shinto times, people believed that Shinto shrines were where the gods lived or where the present world and the everlasting world met. They were respected and feared. To make it difficult for bad things, gods, and people to enter and leave easily, shimenawa were hung as barriers, making it a forbidden area. Even now, there are many places such as Okinoshima Island where not only the shrine, sacred tree, or forest of the local guardian are prohibited, but the entire island is. Sometimes, for a specific time period, rituals and festivals are held to invite the gods and bring good fortune.
Whale mounds
Whale mounds, also known as Kujira Tsuga in Japanese, are mounds that are dedicated to whales that have been washed up on the shore. This is a unique custom to Japan.
Mounds are created to remember Cetacean stranding, a type of whale that was hunted for food and resources, and to show appreciation for the area being saved and enriched. Whales were considered gods and some were called Ebisu, so they were enshrined to prevent them from becoming angry gods after they died on the shore or were hunted. The mound is also built to prevent the god from becoming angry. These mounds can be found at Toda Shrine in Shinagawa, Tokyo and Whale Shrine in Miyake-jima, Tokyo.
After organized whaling was established during the Edo period, mounds were also built in areas where whaling was a livelihood to serve as memorials and expressions of gratitude. Examples include the Ryujima area near Ukishima Shrine in Chiba Prefecture and Taiji.
People believed that whales had spiritual power as their arrival in an area often coincided with the arrival of fish. Therefore, they were used as fishing guides and regarded as auspicious. This led to the enshrinement of whales, often in the form of Ebisu, as a fishing deity to bring good fortune to fishermen and as a sea god to pray for safety at sea.
Similarly, there are whale graves and monuments in areas where whaling has been a source of livelihood since ancient times, as well as for passive and accidental whaling. When combined with whale mounds, there are about 100 of them in Japan.
A whalebone torii is a type of torii where the gate of the shrine is constructed using whale bones, primarily the ribs of the whale.

The Bataan Death March was a forcible transfer by the Imperial Japanese Army of between 75,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war (POW) from the municipalities of Baguc and Mariveles on the Bataan Peninsula to Camp O'Donnel via San Fernando.
The transfer began on 9 April 1942 after the three month Battle of Bataan in the Philippines during World War II. The total distance of Mariveles to San Fernando and from the Capas Train Station to various camps was long. Sources also report widely differing prisoner of war casualties prior to reaching Camp O'Donnell: from 5,000 to 18,000 Filipino deaths and 500 to 650 American deaths during the
march.
The march was characterized by
severe physical abuse and wanton killings. If an American POW was caught on the ground or fell, he would be instantly shot. After the war, the Japanese commander, General Masaharu Homma and two of his officers, Major General Yoshitaka Kawane and Colonel Kurataro Hirano, were tried by the United States military commissions for war crimes and sentenced to death on charges of failing to prevent their subordinates from committing atrocities. Homma was executed in 1946, while Kawane and Hirano were executed in 1949.
John Boyd Orr
He was born near Kilmarnock, and in 1885 the family moved to West Kilbride. He became a pupil teacher and then studied at the University of Glasgow. His first job as a teacher was in the slums of Glasgow. He was shocked by the condition of the children and left after a few days. He then taught for three years at Kyleshill School in Saltcoats. Then he went back to the university to study biology and medicine. He graduated in 1914.
He got a job as a ship's surgeon and then as a general practitioner, but quickly moved into biological research, working with Edward Provan Cathcart and then moved to a new research institute in Aberdeen to study animal nutrition. This was delayed by the First World War, during which he worked as a doctor caring for the soldiers and spent three months in the naval hospital at Chatham.
He went back to Aberdeen in early 1919 to set up the Rowett Research Institute, named after John Quiller Rowett, who donated a lot of money to it. He set up an experimental farm of around 1,000 acres. He raised a lot of money but later he said, "I still look with bitter resentment at having to spend half my time in the humiliating job of hunting for money for the Institute." He moved from animal nutrition research to human nutrition. In 1927 he proved the value of milk being supplied to school children, which led to free school milk in the UK. His 1936 report ""Food, Health and Income"" showed that at least one third of the UK population were so poor that they could not afford to buy enough food to provide a healthy diet. It showed that there was a link between low-income, malnutrition and children doing badly in schools.
In October 1945, Orr was elected Rector of the University of Glasgow after standing as an Independent Progressive candidate. He was elected as an independent Member of Parliament for the Combined Scottish Universities in a by-election in April 1945, and kept his seat at the general election shortly after. He resigned in 1946.
After the Second World War, Boyd Orr resigned from the Rowett Institute, and took several posts, most notably as Director-General of the United Nations' new Food and Agriculture Organization.
When he got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1949, he donated the entire financial award to organizations devoted to world peace and a united world government. He was elevated to the peerage in 1949 as Baron Boyd-Orr, of Brechin Mearns in the County of Angus.
In 1960 Boyd Orr was elected the first president of the World Academy of Art and Science, which was set up by eminent scientists of the day concerned about the potential misuse of scientific discoveries, most especially nuclear weapons.
Military justice
Military justice (also military law) is the legal system that governs the armed forces of a country. In some counties civil law and military law are different and they have different courts to enforce the law.
Military justice is not the same as martial law, which is the imposition of direct military authority upon a civilian population.
Counties were the state administrative subdivisions of Estonia. There were 15 counties, 13 on the mainland and 2 on islands. County governments were abolished at the end of 2017, with their duties split between state authorities and local governments, and now counties have no independent powers.
The counties were first started in the 13th century.

Yahata, which was originally pronounced as "hachiman" in ancient Shinto, is a syncretic deity in Japanese religion. He is associated with archery and war, and is a combination of both Shinto and Buddhist beliefs.
Hachiman has been worshiped by farmers and fishermen since ancient times. Farmers believe he is the god of agriculture, while fishermen pray to him to fill their nets with plenty of fish.
During the samurai period, Hachiman was worshipped by the descendants of two samurai clans - Seiwa Genji and Kanmu Taira. This tradition spread throughout Japan, and samurai clans began to honor Hachiman as their sacred deity. Hachiman's roles also included determining a samurai's fate in battle, protecting martial arts, and proclaiming the victory of an army.
Hachiman is a Shinto god who is mainly worshipped as the tutelary deity of warriors, though he is sometimes referred to as the god of war. Additionally, he is also considered to be a protective deity of Japan, the Japanese people, and the Imperial House
A continuous wave or continuous waveform (CW) is an electromagnetic wave of constant amplitude and frequency, typically a sine wave, that for mathematical analysis is considered to be of infinite duration. It may refer to e.g. a laser or particle accelerator having a continuous output, as opposed to a pulsed output.
By extension, the term "continuous wave" also refers to an early method of radio transmission in which a sinusoidal carrier wave is switched on and off. This is more precisely called interrupted continuous wave (ICW). Information is carried in the varying duration of the on and off periods of the signal, for example by Morse code in early radio. In early wireless telegraphy radio transmission, CW waves were also known as "undamped waves", to distinguish this method from damped wave signals produced by earlier "spark gap" type transmitters.

These rules usually govern voting, when elections happen, who can vote, who can be a candidate, how the votes are counted, how votes decide the election, limits on campaign spending, and other things that can affect the result.
There are many different electoral systems. Sometimes different systems are used in different sorts of elections in the same country.
Voters may vote directly for candidates or their votes may elect an electoral college where their representatives may run a further election. Areas may be divided into constituencies with one or more representatives in each. Voters may vote directly for individual candidates or for a list of candidates.
The most common systems are first-past-the-post voting, multiple non-transferable vote, the two-round (runoff) system, party-list proportional representation and ranked or preferential voting as used in single-winner Instant-runoff voting or multi-winner Single transferable voting.
Different voting systems may effect the results, and they may be changed to benefit those in power.

Three Mountains of Dewa
The Haguro Five-story Pagoda is a national treasure of Japan.
It has three subshrines
Over 1400 years ago in 593, Prince Hachiko opened the Dewa Sanzan mountains as a religious center, which is now considered the oldest history of mountain worship in Japan. After fleeing the Soga clan upon the killing of his father, Emperor Sushun, Prince Hachiko arrived in Dewa province, where he devoted the rest of his life to religious pursuits. He endured difficult ascetic exercises and a period of penance, leading to his worship of Haguro Gongen, the mountain deity. The prince began worshiping at the Gassan and Yudono mountains, leading to the enshrinement of all three deities at the temple on the peak of Mount Haguro.
After the Meiji Restoration in 1868, Japan's government decided to separate Shinto and Buddhism, making Shinto the official state religion. This affected shugendo negatively, and many of its priests left their religious life. After World War II, shugendo regained its status as a minor religious group. These changes also affected the Dewa Sanzan shrines' designations. In the Empire of Japan, Hagurosan Shrine and Yudonosan Shrine were designated as kokuhei shosha, while Gassan Shrine on Mount Gassan was considered a kanpei taisha. Today all three are considered equal Beppyo shrines

What makes the primary shrine unique is that it honors all three of the sacred mountains.
Each year, lay practitioners of shugendo, known as yamabushi, pay homage to the Dewa Sanzan. Mount Haguro is particularly important in this practice as it serves as the gateway to Mount Gassan and Mount Yudono.
Mount Haguro, despite being the smallest of the three Dewa mountains, is unique in that it remains accessible year-round unlike Mount Gassan and Mount Yudono, which are closed during winter due to heavy snowfall. As a result, it is the most renowned mountain of the three, and is well-known locally and internationally.

Mount Yudono is the most sacred and significant mountain of the Dewa Sanzan, considered the heart of the three sacred mountains. It is highly regarded as a training ground for ascetic discipline, and many yamabushi and ascetics believe that their pilgrimage is not complete until they reach the summit of Mount Yudono. The mountain is renowned for its goshintai, a sacred object believed to be connected to a god. The shrine on Mount Yudono is regarded as holy ground and is kept secret, with photography and video recordings being strictly prohibited even today. is its shrine.

Again, I feel compelled to write a few lines that might catch your eye when I'm gone.
Sarah, my love for you is immortal. And in God's will, burn to ashes the hopes of the years to come that we should have lived and loved.

In astrophysics, spaghettification (sometimes referred to as the noodle effect) is the pulling and pushing of objects into long thin spaghetti-like shapes as they go near a strong field of gravity. It is caused by extreme tidal forces. Near a black hole, the pulling and pushing are so powerful that no object can resist it. In a small region, the pushing balances the pulling so that a small object being spaghettified experiences no change in volume.
