Noinu Thumleima () or Thumkhong Lairembi () is the goddess of salt and salt wells in Meitei mythology and religion of Ancient Manipur (Antique Kangleipak). She is a sister (or friend) of the goddesses, Phouoibi (Phouleima), Ngaleima and Ereima (Ireima). People pray to her so there will be enough salt. Salt is an important part of the human diet.

She is a wife of Pakhangba, the royal deity.

Name 
The Meitei female given name "Thumleima" (tʰum.lə́i.mə, ꯊꯨꯝꯂꯩꯃ) is made of two words. These words are "Thum" (tʰum, ꯊꯨꯝ) and "Leima" (lə́i.mə, ꯂꯩꯃ). In Meitei, "Thum" (tʰum, ꯊꯨꯝ) means salt, usually the common salt. In Meitei, "Leima" (lə́i.mə, ꯂꯩꯃ) means queen, mistress or lady.  

Another name of goddess Thumleima is "Thumkhong Lairembi" (ꯊꯨꯝꯈꯣꯡ ꯂꯥꯢꯔꯦꯝꯕꯤ). The Meitei word "Thumkhong" (tʰum.kʰoŋ, ꯊꯨꯝꯈꯣꯡ) is made up of two component words, "Thum" (tʰum, ꯊꯨꯝ) and "Khong" (kʰoŋ, ꯈꯣꯡ). "Thum" (ꯊꯨꯝ)  means salt. "Khong" (kʰoŋ, ꯈꯣꯡ) means mine (of salt or metallic ores). So, "Thumkhong" (tʰum.kʰoŋ, ꯊꯨꯝꯈꯣꯡ) means salt ditch or salt brine or salt mine or salt well. Another Meitei word "Lairembi" (ꯂꯥꯢꯔꯦꯝꯕꯤ) is made up of three component words, "Lai" (ꯂꯥꯢ), "-rem" (-ꯔꯦꯝ) and "bi" (ꯕꯤ). "Lai" (ꯂꯥꯢ) means "God". "-rem" (-ꯔꯦꯝ) or "-lem" (-ꯂꯦꯝ) means "excellent". "bi" (ꯕꯤ) or "pi" (ꯄꯤ) is a suffix to denote feminine gender. So, "Lairembi" (ꯂꯥꯢꯔꯦꯝꯕꯤ) means a goddess.

Association with other gods 

The Goddess Thumleima is one of the divine manifestations of Leimarel (Leimalel). Leimalel is the supreme mother earth goddess. It is said that Leimalel becomes Thumleima when she is in the salt mine. Thumleima is also considered as one of the divine incarnations of goddess Imoinu.

In popular culture

Sylvirana is a genus of frogs in the family Ranidae.  They live in South and East Asia, from northeastern India in the west to China in the north, Taiwan in the east, and Thailand in the south. Sylvirana was proposed in 1992.  At first, in scientists thought Sylvirana should be a subgenus of Rana. Since then, it has been considered both a genus of its own and a synonym of Hylarana. Scientists think it should be its own genus because of molecular genetic analyses published in 2015.

Description
Frogs in Sylvirana are mostly medium sized with strong bodies. They have markings behind their eyes like frogs in Papurana. Their upper lips are gray, off-white, or mottled in color. The back is shagreened with spicules, or it can be warty. The folds of skin on the sides of their backs are medium sized and well developed. They are either pale or the same color as the back. The sides of their bodies have dark coloration below ridges that fade to pale and have dark spots with clear edges. Male frogs have paired vocal sacs that may be inside their bodies or outside their bodies.

Species
There are 12 recognized species:

"Prick Up Your Ears" is the 6th episode of the 5th season of Family Guy. It was first shown on the Fox network on November 19, 2006. The episode is about Lois Griffin being a teacher for sex education. She gets fired because she teaches her students about safe sex.

The episode was written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong. James Purdum is the director of the episode.

Story 

Lois sees Chris and his friends watching a pornographic movie. Chris says that their school does not have a class for sex education. She becomes his school's teacher for sex education. She teaches her students about safe ways to do premarital sex (sex before marriage). On the next day, many parents are angry at her. Lois gets fired for teaching about safe sex. A reverend becomes the new sex education teacher. He talks about sexual abstinence (not doing sex). In the class, Meg gets a boyfriend named Doug. While this happens, One of Stewie's teeth falls out of his mouth. Brian tells him about the tooth fairy. Stewie fears that the tooth fairy will take his tooth. He tries to use Herbert's teeth, but they are not real. He takes the tooth of a girl with an eating disorder. Brian thinks that Stewie is being very crazy, so he tells Stewie that the tooth fairy is not real. However, a man named T. Fairy takes the tooth from the girl with the eating disorder. 

Peter hears what Meg is being taught and thinks that sex is bad. He starts wearing a chastity belt so that Lois does not have sex with him. Lois rapes Peter so that he will like sex again. After that, Lois sees Meg and Doug doing "ear sex" (putting a penis in an ear). Meg thinks that ear sex is still abstinence. Lois goes back to the school and tells everyone that it is okay to do sex before marriage, but it should be done in a safe way. She tells everyone to use condoms. After this, Doug sees Meg naked and they breakup.

Production 

The episode was written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong. James Purdum is the director of the episode. Many parts of the episode were not shown on television: some parts of the pornographic movie that Chris and his friends were watching, Peter trying to do ear sex with Lois, and Peter saying the word "abstinent" wrong. At the end of the episode, Brian was going to be thrown out of a window. When the episode was done being made, Cleveland Brown talks to the Griffin family in the window.

Reception 

About 9.3 million people saw the episode when it was first shown on television. Dan Iverson from IGN said that the episode is "great satire" of sex education and abstinence. He liked the many jokes that were made in the episode.  Francis Rizzo III from DVD Talk thought that the episode was good at showing how Christians teach sex education. He thought that "the effect it has on Meg, as well as Peter, is great".

Acadia is the name of a territory in northeastern North America. Today, the area is mostly part of Canada. At the time, England and France fought over the territory. France said it had a legitimate claim, because Giovanni da Verrazzano and Jacques Cartier had done expeditions in the area. The British claim was founded on an expedition of Giovanni Caboto. The borders of the territory had never been defined clearly. Fights about where these borders were, were common. Historically, Acadia covered the territories of  Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and the southern part of the Gaspé Peninsula, in Quebec. The northeastern part of Maine was also part of Acadia.

Akongjamba  () was a nobleman of a King in Ancient Moirang. He is a lover of Goddess Phouoibi. But fate doesn't permit the lovers to unite. So, Akongjamba and Phouoibi reincarnated in the legends. The lives of the two legendary lovers were believed to be enacted by Thangjing as a part of the Moirang Saiyon of the Moirang Kangleirol legends.

Legends 
Once Goddess Phouoibi (Fouoibi) set out for a journey along with Ngaleima and Thumleima. In Moirang, when she was trying to cross a river, Akongjamba came to the place for hunting. He fell in love with Phouoibi at first sight. They became great lovers.

Many days later, Phouoibi went to Akongjamba's house, disguising herself as a tribal woman (haonupi or haonubi). Akongjamba was not at home. Akongjamba's mother (Akongjamba's wife in another version) didn't give her good shelter. She was about to hit Phouoibi (disguised as a tribal woman) with a broom. A divine being could lose his or her powers at the touch of profane objects like broom. So, Phouoibi fled to the coop of the house. She transformed into a chicken. Akongjamba's mother chased her. She counted the number of chickens. She didn't find any new chicken. So, she was gone. Phouoibi spent the night inside the dirty henhouse. On the next day, she once again assumed her true divine maiden form in a glowing dress. She called Akongjamba's mother to come out. She gave her the payment for spending a night at her place. She shook an enormous heap of golden grain off her body. The grains fell in the middle of the courtyard of the house. Then, she was gone to the south east direction. Akongjamba's mother was surprised at this.
 
When Akongjamba returned home, he found the pile of golden grain as high as a hill in front of the courtyard. His mother narrated him the entire story. He realised that the strange lady was Phouoibi, his ladylove. He immediately followed her path. On the way, he found her. He pleaded her to return home together. But she told him that they are not destined to unite to accomplish their work at that birth. Saying that, she left him.

In popular culture 
 Phou-oibi, the rice goddess is a 2009 ballad opera performed by the Laihui Ensemble. It is based on the lovestory of Phouoibi and Akongjamba.

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.

History 
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 still used in many kinds of daily goods such as clothing.

Weaving Process 
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.

History 

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.

Current Diet building 
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.
