Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Madhara'i
Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Madhara'i (died 884), surnamed al-Atrash ("the Deaf"), was the founder of the al-Madhara'i family of fiscal bureaucrats.

As its nisba shows, the family hailed from the village of Madharaya near Wasit in lower Iraq. Educated in the traditions of the Abbasid bureaucracy at Samarra, Ahmad and his sons moved to Egypt, where in 879 he was appointed director of finances (‘āmil) by Ahmad ibn Tulun, the autonomous ruler of Egypt and later Syria as well. Ahmad held his post until his death in 884, and appointed his two sons, Ali and al-Husayn as his representatives in Egypt and Syria respectively. This laid the foundations for the virtual monopolization of the fiscal affairs of Egypt and Syria by his descendants under the Tulunids, the restored Abbasid government, and the subsequent autonomous Ikhshidid dynasty until 946.

Parliament of Namibia
The Parliament of Namibia is the national legislature of Namibia. It is a bicameral legislature that consists of two houses: the National Council (upper house) and the National Assembly (lower house).

All cabinet members are also members of the lower house. This situation has been criticised by Namibia's civil society and the opposition as creating a significant overlap between executive and legislature, undermining the separation of powers. The seniority of cabinet members generally relegates ordinary MPs to the back benches.

From Namibian independence until 2014, the National Assembly consisted of 78 members, 72 members elected by proportional representation and 6 members appointed by the president. The National Council had 26 representatives of the Regional Councils, 2 from each of the then thirteen regions.

Hikeshi banten
Hikeshi banten is a reversible hanten coat worn by hikeshi, Japanese firefighters of the Edo period, often decorated with symbolic images. Firefighter brigades consisted either of samurai (buke hikeshi) or commoners (machi hikeshi). The coats were made of multiple layers of tightly stitched cotton fabric, quilted using the sashiko technique of running stitches. On one side, the coats had only the firefighting brigade name. The other side featured elaborate designs "resist-dyed using the tsutsugaki method". The inner designs often depicted warrior heroes, or mythical creatures associated with bravery or water, often inspired by ukiyo-e prints.

Hanten
A hanten (袢纏) (also 半纏, 半天 or 袢天) is a short winter coat and an item of traditional Japanese clothing. The hanten started to be worn, especially by the common people, in the 18th century, during Japan's Edo period (1603–1867). Its usage waned after the introduction of fleece based clothing.

The shape of the hanten bears a resemblance to a noragi, a traditional patchwork jacket, and the haori, and is worn by both men and women. The facing and lining are padded with thick layers of wadded cotton for warmth. The collar is usually made of black sateen. Hanten often display a family crest or other designs.
