## Overview

***Tamakatsuma*** is one of Norinaga’s most important books. It is a collection of essays. He began in 1792, and they were published from 1795 to 1801.

Norinaga started writing ***Tamakatsuma*** in 1793. He worked on it until 1801, and revised it until it was finished. Parts of the book were published between 1795 and 1812, three volumes at a time.

The name "**Tamakatsuma**" means "Jewelled bamboo basket". It was meant as a metaphorical basket that he put his thoughts in. It is a , a type of Japanese figure of speech.

The book records what Norinaga learned from his studies of old Japanese texts. It shows his ideas about many things like the ways of the court and samurai, etymology, and local customs. Norinaga wrote that "in the countryside, there are many old and interesting customs, such as funerals and weddings." This makes the book important for folklore as well. It also shows Norinaga’s way of life and thought in his later years.

## Contents

The book covers many topics, especially after Norinaga finished his major work, the _Kojiki-den_. Subjects include:

- **Ancient texts**: quotations and notes from old records.
- **Language**: study of local words and dialects.
- **Geography**: shrine records and gazetteers.
- **Autobiography**: details about Norinaga’s own life.
- **Culture**: criticism of Chinese influence in Japan.
- **Scholarship**: Norinaga’s other studies.

## Publication

The essays came out in five groups of three volumes each. This slow release kept Norinaga’s ideas in discussion for almost twenty years, and let people see his thoughts as they developed.

## Legacy

Today, _Tamakatsuma_ is seen as an important scholarly work of its time. It is printed in _Motoori Norinaga Zenshū_ (Chikuma Shobō, 1968) and in _Nihon Shisō Taikei_ (Iwanami Shoten, 1978). These editions keep the book available for students of Japanese history and thought.

Binary black hole

A Binary Black Hole (often abbreviated BBH), are two black holes in close orbit around each other. The two black holes will eventually merge into one releasing a large amount of gravitational waves.

## Discovery

For years the existence of binary black holes was only theoretical. Proving they exist was a challenge due to the nature of black holes. Although if two black holes were to ever merge this would cause a significant amount of gravitational waves to be released. The existence of binary black holes (and gravitational waves themselves) was proven when on September 2015, LIGO detected GW150914.

LGBT rights in Israel

**LGBT rights in Israel** are considered the most free in the Middle East. Even though sex between the same gender has been legalized in 1988, the old law not allowing sodomy has not been enforced since 1963. Israel became the first country to allow unmarried couples to live together without marriage with the same gender. Even though the country does not see marriages of people of the same gender to be valid if done in Israel, it still sees it as valid if done in a different country. Couples of the same gender are allowed to adopt children after a court ruling in 2008. LGBT people are also allowed to fight in the military even if they show their pride about being part of the LGBT community.

Tel Aviv is famous for the Pride parade that happens there every year. It was called "the gay capital of the Middle East" by _Out_ magazine. Users of the website GayCities ranked it as the best gay city in 2011, even though some anti-LGBT violence happened there in the 2000s. The violence was criticized by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres. A monument to the gay victims of the Holocaust was built in Tel Aviv in 2014.

Encapsulated PostScript

**Encapsulated PostScript** is a graphics file format. It describes printable documents.

EPS was developed because it is difficult to transfer images between Postscript files. An EPS file contains a bounding box. This makes it possible to calculate a preview image. The file contains either a bitmap or a vector graphic image. In essence, EPS is PostScript with a few restrictions, such as just having one page. From the file signature, people cannot tell whether the image is a bitmap or in vector format.

EPS is hardly used anymore due to the newer PDF, but is still used widely for vector image distribution.

It  carried 1.7 billion passengers and 110 million tonnes of freight in 2018.

Urban rail networks are also well developed in London and several other cities. There were once over  of rail network in the UK. The UK was ranked eighth among national European rail systems in the 2017 European Railway Performance Index. That  assessed intensity of use, quality of service and safety.

The rail network in Great Britain is the oldest network in the world. There are five high-speed main lines: the West Coast, East Coast, Midland, Great Western and Great Eastern. They go out from London and other big cities.

The Covid pandemic made most people stop using the trains. The government had to take over most of the privatised operators in 2020.  The rail franchising system was abolished. The rail companies became contractor<nowiki/>s. They run services on  a timetable set by the government. There have been many strikes. 5% of trains were cancelled in the last quarter of 2023.

Later Gupta dynasty

After the decline of the Gupta Empire, the Later Guptas succeeded them as the rulers of Magadha. The daughter of the dynasty's founder Krishnagupta is said to have married prince Adityavarman of the Maukhari dynasty. According to the Aphsad inscription of Adityasena, Krishnagupta's grandson Jivitagupta carried out military expeditions in the Himalayan region and southwestern Bengal.

During the reign of Jivitagupta's son Kumaragupta, the dynasty developed a rivalry with the Maukharis. Kumaragupta defeated the Maukhari king Ishanavarman in 554 CE, and died at Prayaga. His son Damodaragupta suffered reverses against the Maukharis.

Damodaragupta's son Mahasenagupta allied with the Pushyabhuti dynasty. His sister married the ruler Adityavardhana. He invaded Kamarupa and defeated Susthita Varman. But he subsequently faced three invaders: the Maukhari king Sharvavarman, the Kamarupa king Supratishthita-varman, and the Tibetan king Songtsen. His vassal Shashanka also abandoned him (and later established the independent Gauda Kingdom). The Maukhari king Sharvavarman is thought to have defeated Damodaragupta, invading Magadha circa 575 CE, which made him ruler of the entire Uttar Pradesh. Under these circumstances, Mahasenagupta was forced to flee Magadha, and take shelter in Malwa. Subsequently, the Pushyabhuti emperor Harsha (ruled ) restored the Later Gupta rule in Magadha, and they ruled as Harsha's vassals.

After Harsha's death, the Later Gupta ruler Adityasena became the sovereign ruler of a large kingdom extending from the Ganges in the north to the Chhota Nagpur in the south; and from Gomati River in the east to the Bay of Bengal in the west. However, he was defeated by the Chalukyas.

Jivitagupta II, the last known ruler of the dynasty, appears to have been defeated by Yashovarman of the Varman dynasty of Kannauj circa 750 CE.

Scheenstia

***Scheenstia*** is an extinct genus of freshwater and marine ray-finned fish from the Upper Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous of Europe. The teeth of this genus are called "toadstones" and were believed to be found in the head of a toad. It is part of a family called the Lepidotidae in the order Lepisosteiformes. It is related to the much better-known _Lepidotes_.

## Appearance

A large fish, Scheenstia, could exceed one meter. It had a robust body and rounded teeth, perfect for squashing hard-bodied animals. It was probably a relatively slow swimmer. The body shape resembles the famous _Lepidotes_.
