He was a dragon, a symbol of the power of the ocean, had a very big mouth, and could transform into human shape. Ryūjin lived in Ryūgū-jō, his palace under the sea built out of red and white coral, from where he was believed to control the tides with magical tide jewels. Sea turtles, fish and jellyfish were Ryūjin's servants.
Ryūjin was the father of the beautiful goddess Otohime who married the hunter prince Hoori. The first Emperor of Japan, Emperor Jimmu, is said to have been a grandson of Otohime and Hoori's. This means, Ryūjin is believed to be one of the ancestors of the Japanese imperial dynasty.
A legend about Ryūjin is the story about how the jellyfish lost its bones. This story tells that once, Ryūjin wanted to eat monkey's heart, and sent the jellyfish to get him a monkey.

Conjugation
Conjugations are forms of verbs that are changed to agree with the subject that is doing the action described by the verb. Usually most of the word stays the same, but the endings change. Most conjugation systems follow some sort of pattern within the language.
Example: French verb for 'to eat'- "manger" (stem: mang) ("manger" is the infinitive of the verb. The infinitive is the un-conjugated form of the verb, literally the "to do" something form such as to walk, to play, to eat. In English one does not say "I like eat" one must say "I like to eat". In both English and French ("J'aime manger") the infinitive form of the verb would be used in this case.

Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 2018 Winter Paralympics
Bosnia and Herzegovina sent people to compete at the 2018 Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Only one person was on the team. It was 19-year-old para-alpine skier Ilma Kazazic.
Team
Bosnia and Herzegovina was represented by only one person at the 2018 Winter Paralympics. Ilma Kazazic competes in slalom and giant slalom. Three people will accompany Kazazic. The total delegation is four people. The other people are team coach Leon Svetlin, doctor Mirsad Muftić, and chef-de-mission Osman Hadžić. The team departed for South Korea in late February. They arrived in the village on 6 March.
History
The country has never won a medal at the Winter Paralympics. Before 2018, only three people represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Winter Paralympics. They were Nijaz Memic in 2010 and Ilma Kazazic and Senad Turkovic. All three are para-alpine skiers.
Para-alpine skiing
Ilma Kazazic is representing Bosnia and Herzegovina. She competes in the slalom and giant slalom races. Her coach is Leon Svetlin.
Schedule and results
The first event on the para-alpine program is the downhill. It starts on 10 March, running from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM. The second event on the program is Super-G. All skiers will race between 9:30 AM and 1:00 PM on 11 March. The super combined takes place on 13 March. The Super-G part of the event is in the morning. The slalom part is in the afternoon. The slalom event gets underway on 14 March and conclude on 15 March. Women and men both race during the same sessions in the morning. The afternoon sessions start with the women doing their second run. Then the men go.The last para-alpine skiing race of the 2018 Games is the giant slalom. It takes place on 17 - 18 March. Men and women both race at the same time in the morning sessions. Women race first in the afternoon sessions, with the men racing a half hour after they end.
Experiment
An experiment is a test of an idea or a method. It is often used by scientists and engineers. An experiment is used to see how well the idea matches the real world. Experiments have been used for many years to help people understand the world around them. Experiments are part of scientific method. Many experiments are controlled experiments or even blind experiments. Many are done in a laboratory. But thought experiments are done in mind.
Experiments can tell us if a theory is false, or if something does not work. They cannot tell us if a theory is true. When Einstein said that gravity could affect light, it took a few years before astronomers could test it. General relativity predicts that the path of light is bent in a gravitational field; light passing a massive body is deflected towards that body. This effect has been confirmed by observing the light of stars or distant quasars being deflected as it passes the Sun.
Now, a hundred years or so after Einstein published his ideas, there have been many tests, all of which have been consistent with Einstein's predictions. But, one day, we might find the theory has some limits beyond which it does not work. What we test are implications of the theory, because the theory itself is too large and complicated to test all at once.
Controlled experiments
A controlled experiment is a kind of comparison. It often compares the results from experimental samples against control samples. Control samples are the same as the experimental sample, except for one difference. This difference is the one thing whose effect is being tested (the independent variable). A good example would be a drug trial. The sample or group receiving the drug would be the experimental group (treatment group); and the one receiving the placebo or an older treatment would be the control group.
Difference with observational study
An observational study is used when an experiment would be difficult, unethical, or expensive. Observational studies are not experiments. Experiments can control for other variables, and it allows the researchers to change something. Observational studies often do not have random samples, and they often have many variables.
Edith Massey

Olive oil
Olive oil is a vegetable oil. It is made by getting the juice of the fruits of the olive tree. These are called olives. The oil is used in cooking, as well as cosmetics, traditional medicine, and as a fuel for oil lamps. Refined olive oil uses heat and chemicals to get the fat out of the olives.
Edith Massey
She acted in several of director John Waters' most well-known movies: Multiple Maniacs, Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Desperate Living, and Polyester. Waters discovered Massey as a waitress in a Baltimore, Maryland, USA bar he and his friends frequented.
Olive oil
Olive oil quality is defined by some parameters that are measured by chemical analysis. One of the most important is acidity. The highest quality olive oil (Extra-Virgin) must feature an acidity lower than 0.8%.
Edith Massey
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Massey capitalized on her Waters infamy by touring as the lead singer of a punk band (Edie and the Eggs) and opening a thrift store in Baltimore called Edith's Shopping Bag.
Olive oil
People see it as a healthy addition to their diet because of the high level of monounsaturated fats (mainly oleic acid) and polyphenols. Olive oil is popular in Mediterranean countries. It is a big part of the Mediterranean diet as a main fat source.
Edith Massey
Director Robert Maier made a documentary short about her in 1975 called Love Letter to Edie.

Andersonville National Historic Site
The Andersonville National Historic Site is the site of the American Civil War prisoner of war camp Camp Sumter (also known as Andersonville Prison). Andersonville was a Confederate prisoner-of-war-camp during the last 12 months of the Civil War.
Narai-juku
History
Narai-juku is the place that is the longest historic post-town in Japan, forming a townscape for about 1 km while gently descending along the Narai river. Also, Narai-juku was bustling with many people as a post-town in the middle of the 16 century. It was rebuilt as a modern Narai-juku in 1601 with the establishment of a post-town by Edo Shogunate. In this way, Narai-juku was very prosperous during the Edo period. In particular, the procession of the prestigious "Ochatsubo Dochu", which carried tea for the Tokugawa Shogunate from Uji in Kyoto to Edo Castle, has become a very famous event in this place.
Topography
Narai-juku is in Shiojiri city in Nagano prefecture. It is located in the west of Nagano prefecture. The cityscape is formed on a road of about 1km. This place is a village that is created under a marine terrace (a terrace formed along a seashore by the merging of wave-cut and wave-built terraces) at an altitude of 900 meters.
Andersonville National Historic Site
The site is near Andersonville, Georgia. Most of the site lies in southwestern Macon County. Along with the former prisoner, the Andersonville National Cemetery and the National Prisoner of War Museum are also at the Andersonville National Historic Site.
Narai-juku
Climate
Narai-juku is located under a marine terrace so the temperature difference between summer and winter is large. According to the data from Google, the highest temperature is 28 degrees in August and the lowest temperature is -8 degrees in January.
Andersonville National Historic Site
12,920 Union Army prisoners died. This was over one out of every four prisoners at Andersonville.
Narai-juku
Climate
There is a lot of nature around Narai-juku, so the visitors can enjoy the colors of nature that change with each season. In spring, there are many cherry blossoms. In summer there are many green trees. In autumn, there are autumn leaves. In winter, there is a lot of snow.
Demographics
The population of Narai-juku in 1843 was 2,155, with 409 houses, one Honjin and one Wakihonjin, and five inns.

Hohne
Hohne is a municipality in the state of Lower Saxony in Germany, east of the county town of Celle. It includes the three previous parishes of Hohne, Helmerkamp and Spechtshorn. It should not be confused with the British Army camp of Hohne (German: Lager Bergen-Hohne) near Belsen about 30 km to the northwest.
Narai-juku
Demographics
It is currently merged with Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture. However, the population of Narai-juku is declining and aging.
Summer Festival (Shizu Shrine annual Festival)
In 1618, a plague called "Sukumi" became prevalent in Narai-juku. To quell this plague, the people of Narai-juku invited Futsunushi (It is a god of martial arts that appears in the Nihon Shoki, and brings you good luck such as victory luck, traffic and avoiding misfortune.) from Katori Shrine in Shimousa (now Chiba Prefecture) to start a ritual. This is said to be the origin of this festival. Every year after noon on August 12, Wakashu (young man) dedicates a musical accompaniment at Shizu Shrine and walks north through the post town while playing a musical accompaniment (Music that is added to enhance the atmosphere (in Nogaku, Kabuki, etc). The houses along the road entertain the Wakashu with alcohol and food after the music is dedicated.
Ice Candle Festival
It is a festival where you can see a fantastic view of about 2,000 handmade ice candles lit in the old townscape, which was selected as an important traditional buildings preservation district of the country. It is held once a year on the day of Setsubun on February 3rd.
Oyaki
Oyaki is a local dish of Shinshu. Wheat flour is kneaded with water, and various delicacies such as Nozawana are wrapped and steamed. Oyaki goes well with any ingredients, so you can add sweets to make it a snack, or add side dishes to eat as a staple food.
Shinshu Soba
Nagano Prefecture has become famous as "Shinshu soba" because the temperature difference between day and night is large, the well-drained mountain fields are suitable for soba cultivation, and good quality soba can be obtained. In addition, wild vegetables are also famous in Narai-juku, so you can eat them with wild vegetable tempura.
Gohei Mochi
Gohei mochi is made by pounding half of brown rice on a skewer and adding miso or soy sauce-based sauce to it. The origin is not clear, but it is said that Gohei mochi came to be called Gohei mochi because a person named Gobei crushed rice and ate it with miso. Gohei mochi in Narai-juku is characterized by its round shape.
Kiso Shikki
Kiso Shikki is lacquerware. The unique climate of Narai-juku, where summers are cool and winters are harsh and cold, is good for the lacquer work environment. In addition, large forests rich in nature nurture good wood and are blessed with two favorable environments, one is the climate and another is that there are the main roads which can carry trees to this place in terms of transportation. Against this background, Kiso lacquerware continues to be made and has become a traditional item.
Mage Mono
Divide the grain of Kiso cypress into an appropriate thickness, boil it in boiling water to soften the wood, bend it into a circle or oval, and sew it with the bark of mountain cherry blossoms. Bent products are finished by fitting the bottom plate and then applying lacquer. These are Mage Mono. Typical examples are tubs, barrels, and lunch boxes.

Reed (instrument)
A reed is a piece of dry bamboo that is used in some musical instruments such as saxophones, clarinets and oboes. The musician blows air through the mouthpiece where the reed is firmly placed, and the air makes the reed vibrate; this vibration in the mouthpiece produces sound all along the instrument, which is changed into specific musical notes depending on the physical nature of the instrument.
Musical instruments that use reeds are members of the woodwind family, because many years ago the instruments were all made of wood. Today the instruments can be made of metal (brass, silver, gold), wood, or a hard plastic made to look like wood.
The bassoon family of instruments and the oboe family of instruments play with a double reed. Players play through blowing air through the double reed, making the reeds vibrate. A mouthpiece is not needed.
Other reeds can be made from metal or plastic.

In the higher ranks of the German clergy, Gregory had many enemies. Therefore, King Henry declared Gregory was no longer pope, and the Romans should choose a new pope. When Gregory heard of this he excommunicated Henry IV, declared he was no longer emperor and canceled the oaths the people had sworn to King Henry.
To Canossa
The situation now became extremely critical for Henry. It became clear that at any price he had to get his absolution from Gregory. At first he tried this by an embassy, but when Gregory rejected this, he went to Italy in person.
The pope had already left Rome. Henry tried to force the pope to grant him absolution by doing penance before him at Canossa, where Gregory stayed. For a Christian it seemed impossible to deny a penitent re-entrance into the church, and therefore Gregory removed the ban. But a new conflict followed because Henry IV thought the end of excommunication meant he was king again. But Gregory did not decide that.
Second excommunication of Henry
The rebellious German nobles used the excommunication of Henry to set up a rival king, Duke Rudolph of Swabia (Forchheim, March 1077). At first Gregory seemed to be neutral because the two parties (emperor and rebels) were of fairly equal strength. But finally he decided to support Rudolph of Swabia after his victory at Flarchheim (January 27, 1080) and declared the excommunication and deposition of King Henry again (March 7, 1080).

James Dunlop
James Dunlop FRSE (31 October 1793 – 22 September 1848) was a Scottish astronomer, noted for his work in Australia. He was employed by Sir Thomas Brisbane to work as astronomer's helper at his private observatory, once located at Paramatta (now named Parramatta), New South Wales, about 23 km west of Sydney during the 1820s and 1830s. Dunlop was mostly a visual observer, doing stellar astrometry work for Brisbane, and after its completion, then independently discovered and catalogued many new telescopic southern double stars and deep-sky objects. He later became the Top-level manager of Paramatta Observatory when it was finally sold to the New South Wales Government.
Early life
James Dunlop was born in Dalry, Ayrshire, Scotland, the son of John Dunlop, a weaver, and his wife Janet, née Boyle. Dunlop was educated at a primary school in Dalry and went to work at a thread factory in Beith when he was 14. He also attended a night-school in Beith kept by a man named Gardiner. He became interested in astronomy at an early age and was building telescopes in 1810. By fortune in 1820, he got to know the astronomically inclined Sir Thomas Brisbane. In the same year, Brisbane was selected as the new Governor of New South Wales, who then decided to set up an astronomical observatory in the new Colony. Before leaving Britain, Dunlop was then selected as his second scientific helper, and both travelled to Sydney in 1821.

Ethics
Ideas about ethics
When discussing ethics, the philosophy is generally separated into:
Morality is what someone thinks or feels is good or bad. There are many different moralities, but they share some things. For example, most people think that murder (killing somebody) is wrong. (compare Exodus 20:13) Some philosophers hope to find more things that moralities share. They think that ethics should use the scientific method to study things that people think are good or bad. Their work can be used to test the fairness of a situation, such as how people should treat each other. An example of this kind of thinking is the categorical imperative. Many countries have laws based on this idea of fairness.
Salsa
During 1965-1975 in New York, musicians of Cuban and Puerto Rican origin combined to produce this Cuban-style music. The music got the label of 'salsa'. No-one really knows how this happened, but everyone recognised how good it was to have a label for it. Over time, salsa bands worked in other influences. For example, in the late 60s Willie Colon developed numbers that made use of Brazilian rhythms. N.Y. radio programmes offered 'salsarengue' as a further combination.
Ethics
What is ethics used for?
Understanding ethics can help people decide what to do when they have choices. Many philosophers think that doing anything or making any choice is a part of ethics.
Salsa
The question of whether or not salsa is anything more than Cuban music has been argued over for more than thirty years. Initially, not much difference could be heard. Later it became clear that salsa in New York was a bit different from popular music in Cuba. Also, Miami, Venezuela, Colombia and other places all had their own ideas. It now seems clear that salsa has receded from the great position it achieved in the late 1970s, at any rate in New York. The reasons for this are also much disputed. It is difficult for any music which uses a foreign language to succeed in the biggest English-speaking market-place. Salsa as a dance can be seen in all the places mentioned. Unlike standard ballroom dancing, there is no clear agreement on how it should be danced, and the methods differ widely in detail. The teaching of salsa is also rather undeveloped. But, as a general guide, salsa dancing is rather like other dances from Cuba, such as the cha-cha-cha.
Ethics
What is ethics used for?
Ethics is part of other fields of study in many ways. Here are some ways:
Along with aesthetics ethics forms part of axiology, the philosophy of what people like.

Einstein on the Beach
Einstein on the Beach is an opera written by the minimalist composer Philip Glass and theater director and designer Robert Wilson. It was first acted for an audience in Avignon, France in 1976.

Because of the length and the minimalist (repetitive) nature of the music, audience members are free to enter and leave the opera as they wish. Glass's music tends to cycle round, but does not exactly repeat itself. Admittedly, he has described himself as a composer of "music with repetitive structures". Though his earlier music fits what is normally called "minimalist", he has since evolved stylistically.
