The Mekong giant catfish (Pangasianodon gigas) is a rare species of catfish. It is a part of the shark catfish family. It is one of the biggest species of freshwater catfish. It is endemic to the lower half of the Mekong River. Because of overfishing and habitat loss, the fish is now critically endangered. Sometimes, Mekong giant catfish are raised in aquaculture. Today, the fisah are almost exclusively founds in Tonlé Sap lake and Tonle Sap river. It is unknown whether this constitutes one population, or whether there are two distinct ones. The fish is closely related to the Iridescent shark, which is also known as Pangasius.

The Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S) is an image taken by the Chandra X-ray Observatory satellite. 

The location has, like the Lockman Hole, a relatively clear "window" through the clouds of neutral hydrogen gas in our Milky Way galaxy. This allows us to clearly see the rest of the universe in X-rays.  

The image is centered on a patch of sky in the Southern Hemisphere Fornax constellation. This region was selected  because it has much less galactic gas and dust to obscure distant sources.

More observations was taken between 2000 and 2010. The Chandra Deep Field South is the single target where Chandra has observed the longest.

Benjamin Aaron Shapiro (born January 15, 1984) is an Orthodox Jewish American conservative commentator who considers himself a libertarian. Shapiro is pro-life and supports capital punishment. Shapiro has criticised the media for being too left-wing.

Works 
Shapiro has interviewed Nikki Haley, Stephen Harper, Steven Crowder, David French, Jonah Goldberg and Dennis Prager. Ted Cruz is familiar with Shapiro and an admirer of his work. Shapiro was mentioned by name in a leaked Google e-mail about radical YouTube content which called Shapiro, Jordan Peterson and Dennis Prager Nazis.

The Economist published an interview with him calling him alt-right but then said that he was a critic of the alt-right, apologized, and described him as "radical conservative". He writes for some newspapers and magazines including The Washington Post. The Atlantic and The New York Times describe his political philosophy as either conservatism or extreme conservatism.

Shapiro has often said "Facts don't care about your feelings."

Shapiro argued that homosexuality should not have been removed from the DSM as a mental illness.

Shapiro has written eleven books, including The Right Side of History and How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps.

Spring Hill is a city in Johnson and Miami counties in the U.S. state of Kansas. It is part of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. In 2010, 5,437 people lived there.

History
In 1856, James B. Hovey named the community after a town near Mobile, Alabama.  Hovey was the community's first postmaster. Hovey built the first building in town in 1856. It was the Spring Hill Hotel.

In January 1859, Celia Ann Dayton, a doctor from Vermont, moved to Spring Hill. She became the first female doctor in Kansas.

In the fall of 1862, Spring Hill was not attacked by Quantrill's Raiders. This is because a farmer talked to them on their way. He convinced them there were soldiers in town. There were not any soldiers in town. This stopped them from continuing. However, in 1863, the Quantrill Raiders did come to Spring Hill. They looted businesses stole from local farmers. At least one person was killed.

By the 1870s, Spring Hill was growing in number of people and commerce.  However, a railroad to come right through the town wanted to go around Spring Hill unless the town paid $15,000. The people did not want to share the costs, so the railroad was moved to about a half-mile east of the town square. The town's businesses then quickly moved closer to the train depot and tracks.

On May 20, 1957 around 7:00 p.m., an F5 tornado, known as the Ruskin Heights tornado, hit Spring Hill.  The only deaths in Spring Hill were the Davis Family, including Isam Davis, his wife Barbara, and their daughters Tamara and Pamela. A neighbor said they were killed when they were trying to leave their home and make it to their car to get away from the tornado.  Their home was completely destroyed by the tornado. Their bodies were found close to 207th Street and US 169 Highway (present day Webster Street).  Davis Street in Spring Hill is named after the family.

Geography
Spring Hill is at  (38.745316, -94.829261). The United States Census Bureau says that the city has a total area of . Of that,  is land and  is water.

The Seminole are a group of Native American people from Florida. Today, many Seminole people live in different groups across Florida and Oklahoma.

The Seminole Nation began in the 18th century, when many groups of Native Americans came together in Florida. Much of Seminole culture comes from the Muscogee (Creek) people from Georgia and Alabama, who made up a large part of the Seminole Nation when it was formed. The name "Seminole" comes the word for "runaway" in the Muscogee language, which many Seminole people spoke.

The Seminole developed an independent identity over a period of time in the 18th and 19th Centuries. During this time they traded with British and Spanish colonists who were living in Florida. Many free blacks and escaped slaves settled near Seminole land and paid tributes to the Seminole tribe. These people later became known as "Black Seminoles."

After the American Revolutionary War, many Americans tried to move into Seminole land. This created conflict leading to the Seminole Wars (1818-1858).

The   is a recitation show at Yahashira shrine in Kami-fukawa village, near the city of Nara .

The Shinto Temple in Kamifukawa has a tradition of accepting a 17-year-old boy as a member of a religious organization that carries out religious ceremonies at the temple. The acceptance of a boy into the organization at the temple is an acknowledgment that the child has become an adult.

The performance 
Young men, aged 17 (If there are not enough boys aged 17 years, boys who are not yet 17 years old or are over 17 years old are also included in the performance)  stand in a semi-circle dressed in samurai clothes and carrying bows. One by one, they are called to the centre by an old man who reads the name of a character in the tales of the feud between the Genji and Heike clans. There is no musical accompaniment. When all twenty-six characters have spoken, the youths rhythmically stamp their feet and sing offstage.

Originally a rite of passage at the age of seventeen to mark the formal acceptance of the eldest son into the community of the twenty-two families of Kami-fukawa, the Daimokutate is now performed annually in mid-October by young men of various ages and from many different families.Unique in Japan as a dramatic performance without acting or music, the Daimokutate is an important marker of identity and plays an indispensable role in maintaining solidarity in this mountainous town.

History 
The Daimokutate was performed around the end of the Muromachi period (XVI century). Daimokutate is the last living example of a tradition of reciting in sanctuary  by ordinary people, attested for the first time in a document of 1534.

Documents  collected by the folklore specialist Hosen Jungo between 1953 and 1955, have been preserved, but it is likely that the repertoire was much larger.

Daimokutate was inscribed in 2009 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of Unesco .
