2024 Democratic National Convention

The **2024 Democratic National Convention** was an event in which delegates of the United States Democratic Party picked the party's nominees for president and vice president in the 2024 United States presidential election. Vice President Kamala Harris was formally nominated for president while Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz was formally nominated as vice president.

It was held at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois from August 19 to 22.

## Selection process

Top Democrats from Illinois such as Governor J. B. Pritzker, Senator Tammy Duckworth, and Mayor Lori Lightfoot supported the city's bid to host the convention. Chicago has hosted the most major-party presidential nominating conventions of any city (14 Republican, 11 Democrat). The 1968 Democratic National Convention had violent protests between anti-war demonstrators and the Chicago Police Department.

Facilities in Chicago that had been mentioned as possible primary venues include the United Center, Wintrust Arena, and Navy Pier. In April 2023, the United Center and McCormick Place were chosen as venues for the convention.

Atlanta, Houston, and New York City were also candidates to host the convention.

## Security

In the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump on July13, the Secret Service secured the United Center and the area surrounding it, and the Chicago Police Department secured everything outside the inner perimeter, with both agencies securing rooftops of all buildings that may have had a line of sight to the United Center.

## Protests

Several protests about the Israel-Hamas war took place. Chicago is home to the nation's largest Palestinian neighborhood, also known as "Little Palestine," and Chicago is the largest American city to pass a cease-fire resolution about the Israel–Hamas war. The first of seven permitted protests took place the day before the convention started. Hundreds marched along Michigan Avenue to Grant Park.

Ōmiwa Shrine

The Ōmiwa Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Sakurai, Nara Prefecture, Japan. It is unique because it does not contain any sacred objects or images, as it is dedicated to the nearby Mount Miwa. People think its practice of using a Kannabi as its shintai is what original shrines did. The shrine is also the patron of Japanese sake brewers.

## Architecture

The Ōmiwa Shrine is in a peaceful forest and is built facing Mount Miwa. There is a very old Japanese cedar tree on the shrine grounds that people believe is holy. The shrine has Mount Miwa as its Shintai, which means that it worships the mountain as a deity, and it does not have a honden. It uses the mountain as a Kannabi

The buildings in the shrine are decorated with Borromean rings. These rings represent the three rings, which is significant because the word "Miwa" is written using the kanji for   and .
The torii on the sandō of the Ōmiwa Shrine is very tall, measuring 32 meters and was built in 1984. It is the second tallest torii in Japan. The shrine also has an ancient gate called shime torii, made with only two posts and a rope known as shimenawa. The shrine has a unique feature known as a "triple-torii" or miwa torii. Unlike most torii gates, the miwa torii has doors that restrict access to the mountain that it enshrines..

The buildings at Ōmiwa Shrine include structures that were built from ancient times up to the Edo period, which lasted from 1603 to 1868.

Ikuta Shrine

Ikuta Shrine is a religious site in Kobe, Japan that belongs to the Shinto religion. It is in the Chūō Ward of the city and is considered to be one of the oldest shrines in the country.

## History

Nihon Shoki, a historical text, states that Ikuta Shrine was established by Empress Jingū during the early 3rd century AD to honor the deity Wakahirume. At that time, two other shrines were also founded: Hirota Shrine, which was dedicated to Amaterasu, and Nagata Shrine, which was dedicated to Kotoshiro-nushi (also known as Ebisu).

During the Genpei War, there was fighting in and around Ikuta Shrine. This battle, known as the Battle of Ichi-no-Tani, is commemorated by markers in the forest behind the shrine. However, the shrine's land was much larger in the past, before the city of Kobe was built around it. Because of this, the exact locations of battles and other events can no longer be marked on the shrine's property.

## Festivals and events

Two Noh plays, named Ebira and Ikuta Atsumori, which depict stories from the Genpei War, are regularly performed near the Ikuta Shrine. These plays are performed every year during Ikuta's Autumn Festival.

Kumano shrine

A **** is a type of Shinto shrine that honors the three Kumano mountains: Hongū, Shingū, and Nachi. There are over 3,000 Kumano shrines in Japan, and each one receives its kami from another Kumano shrine through a process called  or .

The Kumano cult originally came from the Kumano Sanzan shrine complex in Wakayama Prefecture.

## Kumano Sanzan

The Kumano Sanzan shrines are considered the main shrines among all Kumano shrines and are located between 20 to 40 kilometers from each other. They are linked by the pilgrimage route called . In addition to the three shrines, there are two Buddhist temples, Seiganto-ji and Fudarakusan-ji, that are also part of the Kumano Sanzan complex.

The Kumano region has been significant religious since ancient times, even before modern religions in Japan. It is known as a place for physical healing. Initially, each Kumano shrine had its own form of nature worship, but in the 10th century, they began to be worshipped together as the three deities of Kumano under the influence of Buddhism.. During the time when Japanese kami were believed to be emanations of buddhas, known as the honji suijaku theory, the three deities of Kumano became associated with Buddhas. Kuniyasutamahime, one of the deities, was associated with Sahasrabhūja Avalokiteśvara (also known as Senju Kannon, meaning "Thousand-Armed Avalokiteśvara"), Bhaisajyaguru (Yakushi Nyōrai), and Amitābha (Amida Nyōrai). The site of Kumano became a unique example of the fusion between Buddhism and Japanese indigenous religion known as shinbutsu-shūgō.. After the three shrines were associated with Buddhism, the Kumano Sanzan site gained popularity and attracted many worshipers, making it a popular pilgrimage destination.. During the 11th century, pilgrims who visited the Kumano Sanzan site were mainly members of the imperial family or aristocrats. However, by the 15th century, the majority of the pilgrims were commoners.. In the past, the pilgrimage to Kumano was also known as the . This was because the pilgrims could be seen walking in long lines, winding through the valleys, and resembling a trail of ants.

Spaghettification

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.

Stephen Hawking described the flight of a fictional astronaut who was passing within a black hole's event horizon. The astronaut he describes is "stretched like spaghetti" by the difference in gravitational force, or the gradient, from head to toe. The reason this happens is that the gravity force exerted by the singularity would be much stronger at one end of the body than the other. If one were to fall into a black hole feet first, the gravity at their feet would be much stronger than at their head, causing the person to be vertically pulled. Along with that, the right side of the body will be pulled to the left, and the left side of the body will be pulled to the right, pushing the sides of the person inward. Spaghettification of a star was seen for the first time in 2018 by scientists observing a pair of colliding galaxies approximately 150 million light-years from Earth.

Inbe Shrine

**Inbe Shrine** is a Shinto shrine in Nikenya-cho, Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture. It used to be a Myojin Taisha. It is a beppyo shrine under the Association of Shinto Shrines.

## Deity

- amenohiwashi no mikoto (天日鷲命)

Inbe Shrine's deity is believed to be the Oyagami or the ancestor deity of the inbe clan. The shrine's deity is known to have played a role in the story of Amaterasu Omikami hiding in the cave, where Tentagyoku-no-mikoto led him to plant a paper mulberry tree and make a white coin woven from kozo fibers. The deity is also believed to have introduced cotton (also called Yu) to Japan.

## History

Inbe Shrine was originally in Mashoku County, Awa Province and was listed in the 'Engishiki Jinmyocho' and 'Myojin Taisha Shrine'. However, due to fires and other factors, its location became unknown during the Middle Ages. In the early modern period, multiple shrines were built in Shikinai and Inbe Shrines claiming to be the original Inbe Shrine. In 1871, it was temporarily promoted to Kokuhei Chusha with "location unknown". In 1874, Inbe-jinja Shrine in Yamakawa-cho was replaced by Gosho-jinja Shrine. In 1881, Gosho-jinja Shrine was changed to Shikinaibu-jinja Shrine, but Yamazaki opposed it. In 1885, the current location on the slopes of Mt. Bizan was selected and Kotohira-jinja Shrine was enshrined there. It was moved to Gosho-jinja Shrine as a temporary subsidiary shrine before being relocated to its present location on May 15, 1892, following the completion of the shrine building.

The shrine was built in the year 1892. But during the year 1945, a big part of the main buildings got destroyed because of war-related incidents. To rebuild it, the current main hall was constructed in 1953, which has a 3-bay front and a 2-bay roof on the remaining three sides. To decorate the roof, chigi and bonito were placed on the ridge.

A loom is placed in the weaving hall. There the fabric for imperial succession is woven

## Festival

- The Spring Reitaisai Washigae Shinto ritual is performed on May 15th to commemorate the Inbe Shrine's relocation in 1892.

Virome

A virome is a collection of viruses found in a biological community, such as an ecosystem or an organism. Scientists studying viruses use gene sequencing methods to study the viruses in these communities and classify them. This is known as the study of metagenomics. Viruses are found in all kinds of environments. One example of a virome is the human virome, which is the community of viruses living in various human organs. Bacteriophages, a type of virus, are the most common type of virus in the biosphere and in humans, and are found in feces, saliva, blood, and more.

In the 2000s, virologist Forest Rohwer performed gene sequencing on samples of seawater, soil, and human tissue. The studies revealed that the gene diversity of viruses globally is massive and mostly unrecorded. More research in the 2010s showed that the gut virome of humans is of special interest in human medicine. Scientists sort nucleic acids from the other components of viruses, and then analyze them. The large number of different viruses on Earth makes completing the Earth’s virome difficult. As of November 2018, a large virus database held information on 760,000 individual viruses and virus parts.
Beppyo shrine

A **Beppyo Shrine**, or , is a type of Shinto shrine that is considered to be remarkable in some way and thought to be more important than other shrines.

Zhangixalus smaragdinus

The **Nepal flying frog**, **large tree frog**, **Günther's tree frog**, **yellow-spotted tree frog**, **emerald gliding tree frog** or **white-lipped tree frog** (_Zhangixalus smaragdinus_) is a frog.  It lives in China, Nepal, India, Tibet, Bhutan, and Myanmar.

This frog lives in trees.  Most of the time, this frog lives high in the place where the branches come together like a roof. People have seen this frog between 500 and 2000 meters above sea level.

The female frog makes a foam nest on top of the water in a pond. The tadpoles swim in the pond.

Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in a large place. Some people catch this frog to eat. Many of the places this frog lives are protected parks: Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, Dihang-Dibang Biosphere Reserve, Royal Manas National Park, Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary, Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park, Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary, Thong Pha Phum National Park, Kaeng Krachan National Park, and Kui Buri National Park.
Shinko-shiki

Shinko-shiki (神幸式), also known as Shinko-sai (神幸祭) is a shinto ritual of moving a kami in a procession. The Kami's shintai will be removed from the main Shinto shrine and be put in a movable shrine such as Matsuri float or a Mikoshi. It usually takes place during an annual festival for a shrine The parade is considered a way for the kami to review and affirm the boundaries of a neighborhood or parish.

The content, formality, and participation in Shinko Shiki parades vary depending on the region. The most visible part of the parade is a group of marchers who walk or ride along a set route. The parades require organization and resources, and they are often organized as part of a shrine's ritual or related activities.

The parades serve as affirmations of social boundaries because individuals and households contribute time and resources to their neighborhood or area's parade, participate in its organization or performance, and publicly display their membership through signs, posters, or jackets.

This festival can take place on land or water, and the route and places visited are based on tradition. The festival can also include costumes and special rituals. It is sometimes called "O-watari" (お渡り) .

The Gion Festival of Yasaka Shrine is a famous example of Shinko-sai.

Shinko Shiki is specifically associated with the visit of kami to its parishioners, but there is a wide range of performance and interpretation.

For example Tokyo Shinko-shiki is rowdy and has lots of drinking, while in Yuzawa it is quiet and formal.

Zhangixalus franki

**Frank's tree frog** (_Zhangixalus franki_) is a frog.  People have seen it in China, in Yunnan Province, and in northern Vietnam.  People have seen it between 1320 and 1360 m above sea level.

The adult male frog is about 77.9–85.8 mm long from nose to rear end.

People have seen this frog in evergreen forests that have not been cut down. People saw the frogs near ponds. Scientists think its eggs hatch into tadpoles, like other eggs in _Zhangixalus_. People have seen this frog between 1320 and 1680 meters above sea level.

This frog is in danger because people change the place where it lives. People build small farms and cut down trees to get wood.
Shinshi

or "divine messengers," are animals in Japanese mythology that are believed to be associated with a kami, a divine being. These animals are also known as kami no tsukai or tsukawashime. In ancient texts such as Kojiki and Nihongi, there are tales of special animals that acted on behalf of the kami to transmit the divine will or to bear oracles.

As time passed, people started to connect certain animals with specific shrines. It became a custom to take care of these animals when they were found within the area of the shrine. Normally, each kami had only one animal familiar, but sometimes, there were some exceptions where a kami had more than one. Even some of the "Seven Lucky Gods" like Daikokuten (a mouse) and Benzaiten (a snake) had animal familiars.

In later years, the kami's animal familiar became a common symbol of the kami itself. For instance, the fox at Inari shrines was worshipped as a manifestation of the kami. These creatures were thought to be extraordinary spiritual beings, and this perception, combined with their relationship with the specific kami, likely gave rise to this phenomenon.

It is believed to have originated from shamanism, where animals aided shamans in traveling to the spirit world. Certain animals are associated with particular spirits, such as foxes with Inari and deer with Kasuga.

In the past, tribal communities considered their shaman's animal helper as an ancestor, and this may have influenced the connection between animals and spirits in Shinto. For example, the Kamo tribe believed that the three-legged crow was their ancestor.

At Ise Jingu, roosters roam around and are believed to be the assistants of the sun goddess, Amaterasu. They wake her up every morning, according to folklore. Some experts believe that the rooster may be the bird depicted on the torii, a gate that marks the entrance to a shrine.

Inari Okami's fox messengers are often identified directly with her Rice food sake and other offerings are given to them for her

## History

In a book called Fusō Sakki, which was written in the middle of the Heian period in Japan, it is mentioned that a person who killed a white fox (known as shiratoume) near the Ise Shrine was exiled to that area. This suggests that there was a belief in spiritual foxes in ancient Japan.'

The "Chujin Harai-kun," a book written in the 12th century, states that the kami's messenger is second only to the eight great kami and is subordinate to the 100,000 kami. Moreover, "Kitakami Yuki-fu," an essay written in the early 19th century, explains that a ritual called hanasui-iwai is held every year on January 15th. During this ritual, every new household is given a Shinshi.

Shukubo

In Japan, a Shukubo  is a place where visitors can spend the night inside a Buddhist temple. It means "temple lodging" in English.  In the past, these facilities were built to house only monks and worshippers. However, nowadays, more and more of them are welcoming general tourists and expanding their facilities and services accordingly. Some temples, such as , have outdoor hot spring baths known as  Onsens. These temple lodgings are now somewhat secularized and in many towns, they are the only available accommodation options.

## History

At first, only Buddhist monks called Bhikkhu were permitted to stay at these accommodations. However, during the Heian period, more individuals began to embark on pilgrimages to temples and shrines. As a result, even people like the nobility, samurai, and common pilgrims began to stay in these facilities. As a result, the operators of these facilities were no longer only monks.

Shukubo were historically used by Shugendo practitioners and those who worshipped mountains. They played significant roles in the development of both practices.

In a construction boom that lasted for several decades in the Edo period, networks of Shukubo started to develop in Ise, Shima, Toba, and Futami-ura.

Many of the present-day operators of Shukubo are descendants of families who used to run them when they were solely for religious purposes. These Shukubo were originally intended for only one Kosha, but opening up to the general public has significantly increased the number of people staying at these facilities.

At the base of Mount Haguro, there were once 336 Shukubo, all of which were connected to Shugendo.

During the Edo period, visits to temples and shrines became popular Destinations included those Ise, Kotohira-gū, and . As a result, lodging houses were constructed at major temples and shrines in each area to accommodate ordinary pilgrims and tourists. This formed an early tourism industry. Specific areas were linked to specific lodging houses.

In modern times, some Shukubo have been transformed into traditional inns and ryokans for tourists who wish to experience the ambiance of a temple stay.
