Kimono 
 Hōmongi - a kimono with a design along the hem, the back of the right sleeve, and the front of the left sleeve.
Kimono 
 The designs should match up and cross over the seams, as hōmongi are roughly sewn up, and the designs drawn on, before being taken apart and dyed.
Kimono 
 Irotomesode are colourful kimono with a design along the hem, which is either higher at the left side than the right, or placed on both okumi (the overlapping front panel) instead.
Kimono

Kimono 
 In Japan, people can take classes about wearing the kimono, and to learn about how to choose a kimono and how to tie the obi.
Culture 
 A culture is passed on to the next generation by learning, whereas genetics are passed on by heredity.
Culture 
 Most broadly, 'culture' includes all human phenomena which are not purely results of human genetics.
Culture 
 The discipline which investigates cultures is called anthropology, though many other disciplines play a part.
Culture 
 Culture is also the beliefs and values of the people and the ways they think about and understand the world and their own lives.
Culture 
 For example, some older Japanese people wear kimonos, arrange flowers in vases, and have tea ceremonies.
Culture 
 For example, in a large country like China or Canada a region may have a distinctive way of talking, different types of music, and different types of dances.
Culture 
 Japanese manufacturing companies often have a different culture to Western companies; the workday starts with exercise, and the workers are very loyal to the company.
Culture 
 Software and computer companies sometimes allow employees to play games during the workday, or take time off work to relax, because these companies believe that this will help the workers to think better.

Movie 
 A movie camera or video camera takes pictures very quickly, usually at 24 or 25 pictures (frames) every second.
Movie 
 When a movie projector, a computer, or a television shows the pictures at that rate, it looks like the things shown in the set of pictures are really moving.
Movie 
 The sounds in a movie usually include the sounds of people talking (which is called dialogue), music (which is called the "soundtrack"), and sound effects, the sounds of activities that are happening in the movie (such as doors opening or guns being fired).
Movie 
 A screenwriter writes a script, which is the story of the movie with dialogue and things that the actors will say and do.
Movie 
 A producer hires people to work on the movie and gets all of the money that will be needed to pay for the actors and the equipment.
Movie 
 Producers usually get the money by borrowing it from a bank or by getting investors to lend money to the movie production.
Movie 
 Some producers work for a movie studio; other producers are independent (they do not work for a movie studio).
Movie 
 The actors memorize the words from the script that they will say in the movie, and learn the actions that the script tells them to do.
Movie 
 Then, the director tells the actors what to do and a cameraman takes motion pictures of them with a motion picture camera.
Movie 
 When filming has finished, an editor puts the moving pictures together in a way that tells the whole story within a set amount of time.
Movie 
 An electric machine called a projector shines a very bright light through the film, and people sitting in a dark room see it on a big screen.
Movie 
 Although hundreds of movies are made every year, there are very few that do not follow a small number of set plots, or stories.
Movie 
 For example, in Die Hard, terrorists take control of a skyscraper and ask for a big ransom in exchange for not killing the hostage workers.
Movie 
 Action movies do not usually make people cry, but if the action movie is also a drama, emotion will be involved.
Movie 
 Buddy movies often involve comedy, but there is also some emotion, because of the close friendship between the 'buddies'.
Movie 
 Comedies are funny movies about people being silly or doing unusual things or being in silly or unusual situations that make the audience laugh.
Movie 
 Dramas are serious, and often about people falling in love or needing to make a big decision in their life.
Movie 
 They usually follow a basic plot where one or two main characters (each actor plays a character) have to 'overcome' (get past) an obstacle (the thing stopping them) to get what they want.
Movie 
 For example, a husband and wife who are divorcing must each try to prove to a court of law that they are the best person to take care of their child.
Movie 
 Emotion (feelings) are a big part of the movie and the audience (people watching the movie) may get upset and even cry.
Movie 
 Music, lighting and sets (man-made places in movie studios where the movie is made) are all designed to add to the feeling.
Movie 
 Romantic Comedies (Rom-Coms) are usually love stories about 2 people from different worlds, who must overcome obstacles to be together.

Holland 
 Holland was a county of the Holy Roman Empire and later the leading province of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands (1581–1795).
Holland 
 The earlier country and province of Holland used to be bigger, but some parts of that province were given to other provinces during the French occupation (1795-1813).
Holland 
 For example, Willemstad became part of North Brabant, the islands of Vlieland and Terschelling were given to Friesland, and the island of Urk to Overijssel.
Holland 
 But for a short time during that period (1806–1810), there was a country called "Holland", the Kingdom of Holland, which was in the central and northern Netherlands and East Friesland in Germany.
Holland 
 Many people use the name "Holland" to refer to all of the Netherlands, including the other ten provinces.
Holland 
 Some Dutch people who do not live in Holland do not like it when people call the entire country Holland.
Holland 
 But they don't mind using "Holland" when you mean the Dutch national football team, which they are used to calling "Holland".
Isotope 
 The atoms of a chemical element can exist in different types that have very similar behavior, but weigh different amounts.
Isotope 
 Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, but different isotopes have different numbers of neutrons.
Isotope 
 Different isotopes of the same element have different masses because they have a different number of neutrons.
Isotope 
 As a result, they also have different mass numbers, which is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.
Isotope 
 The most common isotope of carbon also has 6 neutrons, giving a mass number of 12, and it is written carbon-12 or 12C. The isotope of carbon that has 8 neutrons is written carbon-14 or 14C.
Isotope 
 The word "isotope", meaning "at the same place", comes from the fact that isotopes of the same element are at the same place on the periodic table.
Isotope 
 As a result, isotopes of the same element also have the same number of electrons and the same electronic structure.
Isotope 
 The way an atom acts is decided by its electronic structure, so isotopes of the same element have almost the same chemical behavior, such as the molecules it can form.
Isotope 
 It is very difficult to separate the isotopes of an element from a mixture of different isotopes because of how similar this behavior is.
Isotope 
 This "mass effect" is large for protium (1H) and deuterium (2H), because deuterium has twice the mass of protium.
Isotope 
 For heavier elements, the relative atomic weight ratio between isotopes is much less, so the mass effect is usually small.
Isotope 
 Every atom has an atomic nucleus, which is made from protons and neutrons that are held together by the nuclear force.
Isotope 
 This reduces the electrostatic repulsion between the protons, so the nuclear force can hold the protons and neutrons together.
Isotope 
 These only exist on Earth because they are created in nuclear reactors, nuclear explosions, or particle accelerators.
Isotope 
 The half life of radium-226 is only 1600 years, and it is found in nature because it is constantly forming from the decay of uranium-238.
Isotope 
 This is because the nuclear forces inside the nucleus of the atom cannot hold together all the protons and neutrons.
Crushing by elephant 
 In the past, many rulers in south and southeast Asia had people crushed by elephants as a death penalty.
Crushing by elephant 
 At this point, witnesses looked under the elephant's foot to make sure the prisoner was the one who committed the crime.

 Few witnesses denied the condemned was the criminal, because then the elephant may crush them instead.
Crushing by elephant 
 Then the mahout, or elephant driver, gave the order, and the elephant would push down with its weight.

Power network 
 It must be large enough to literally scare or force people to go along with its requests, which makes them orders.
Power network 
 It is typically much larger than a social network but is not one, since people can only call on each other for a small number of reasons, and perhaps at specific times.
Power network 
 A corporation may also be a power network if it relies on many power relations to maintain itself - for instance, the right to draw oil from the ground or dump waste without being held responsible for it.
Power network 
 When a power network achieves some stable grasp of political power and daily working control of some important infrastructure, it becomes a power structure.
Power network 
 In a democracy the visible power networks represented by the parties compete regularly in an election - but much of the power structure, typically the bureaucracy, does not change, and is typically ignored as a power network in itself.
Citizenship 
 Usually the country is the one they were born in, lives in, supports, and in return gets protection.
Citizenship 
 A person is usually a citizen of the country where he or she is born, but sometimes a person will apply for naturalization, to become a citizen in another country.
Citizenship 
 Some countries also recognise Jus sanguinis, the right of members of the national diaspora to be citizens.
Citizenship 
 Jus sanguinis comes from Latin meaning "right of blood" which basically means one can inherit citizenship by descent from a parent and in some cases a grandparent or even more distant ancestors.
Citizenship 
 Many countries require that they give up their citizenship of their old country, but some countries have permanent citizenship; you can't quit such a citizenship.
Citizenship 
 People who are citizens of more than one country, with approval of both Governments, are dual citizens.
Citizenship 
 There are many causes of statelessness: wars, refugees, people whose birth was never registered, people born in a territory which is not recognised as a state, and so on.
Citizenship 
 Some countries remove citizenship for various reasons, and some citizens renounce their citizenship.
Citizenship 
 People born in Canada become citizens of the country by Jus soli even if their parents are not citizens.
Citizenship 
 In 2018 the New York Times reported that 20% of babies born in Richmond Hospital in Richmond, British Columbia, were born to mothers involved in birth tourism.
Elephant 
 By the Miocene several groups of large mainly forest-dwelling elephants evolved, the gomphotheres and deinotheres.
Elephant 
 Modern elephants – the actual family Elephantidae – evolved from gomphotheres as the climate became cooler and drier in the Pliocene and Pleistocene.
Elephant 
 This change in the dietary supply was one of the factors which forced gomphotheres toward extinction in the late Pleistocene in South America.
Elephant 
 The remaining population probably succumbed to climatic change and/or human predation around the time of the Holocene margin.
Elephant 
 The significant thing about modern elephants (especially Indian elephants) is that they eat grass: they are primarily grazers, rather than browsers.
Elephant 
 Elephants in captivity do not make many babies, and some captive elephants are abused and mistreated.
Elephant 
 Appendix II status (which allows restricted trade) was given to elephants in Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe in 1997 and South Africa in 2000.
Elephant 
 In some countries, sport hunting of the animals is legal: Botswana, Cameroon, Gabon, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe have  export quotas for elephant trophies.
Elephant 
 Although Asian elephants are declining in numbers overall, particularly in Southeast Asia, the population in the Western Ghats may be increasing.
Buddhism 
 Buddhism originated in India, based on the teachings, of Siddhartha Gautama, later known as Gautama Buddha.
Buddhism 
 Over the centuries his teachings spread from Nepal to Central Asia, Tibet, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, China, Mongolia, Korea, Japan, and now Europe and North and South America.
Buddhism 
 While many people see Buddhism as a religion, others see it as a philosophy, and others as a way of finding reality.
Buddhism 
 Siddhartha Gautama (563483 BC) began life as the infant prince of a small kingdom in what is now the southern part of Nepal.
Buddhism 
 Enlightened at the age of 35, the Buddha spent the next 45 years of his life traveling and teaching in the northern part of India.
Buddhism 
 He saw that all living things suffer in being born, in getting sick, in growing old, and in facing death.
Buddhism 
 To them he first presented what he saw as the Four Noble Truths of life and the Eightfold Noble Path (see below).
Buddhism 
 The Buddha taught that life is best understood as being impermanent (everything changes), unsatisfactory (left on our own we are never truly happy), and interdependent (all things are linked, even to the degree that the self is better understood as an illusion).
Buddhism 
 In discussing suffering, the Buddha identified the three poisons of desire, anger and stupidity, and he showed that we could end our suffering by letting go of desires and overcoming anger and stupidity.
Buddhism 
 The complete letting go of negative influences is called Nirvana, meaning "to extinguish," like putting out the flame of a candle.
Buddhism 
 The Buddha taught about reincarnation, the idea that after we die we are likely to be reborn in this world and face the same kind of suffering as in the past life.
Buddhism 
 The ultimate goal of a Buddhist is to find enlightenment (Nirvana) which places us beyond endless reincarnation and suffering.
Buddhism 
 Someone who has woken up to the truth of the mind and suffering and teaches the truth to others is called a Buddha.
Buddhism 
 Buddhists do not believe that a Buddha is a god, but that he is a human being who has woken up and can see the true way the mind works.
Buddhism 
 According to Buddhism, there were countless Buddhas before Gautama Buddha and there will be many Buddhas after him.
Buddhism 
 The Mahapadana sutta says the earliest Buddha of the recent seven buddhas was Vipassi Buddha (But sutta is not saying that Vipassi is first Buddha).
Buddhism 
 Counting from the present kalpa (the beginning of our present world (Earth)) Gautama Buddha is considered the fourth Buddha.
Buddhism 
 In this telling, the first is Kakusandho Buddha, second Konakamano Buddha, and the third Kassapo Buddha.
Buddhism 
 The Buddha refers to the awakened one, the Dharma to the Buddha's teachings, and the Sangha to the people who follow the Buddha and his teachings.
Buddhism 
 The way to rise above desire is to follow the Noble Eightfold Path, practices which help us change our minds and understanding.
Buddhism 
 The Buddha told people to follow a special way of life called the Noble Eightfold Path if they want to understand the Four Noble Truths.
Buddhism 
 The Buddha taught that killing, stealing, having sex in a harmful way, and lying are not signs of skill.
Story 
 when we tell others about a thing that happened, or a thing we thought of: Bob read the children a story; Mary told John the story of her life.
Story 
 a report in a newspaper or on the television news: Did you see the story about George Bush on page 12?
Story 
 a thing we tell others that is not real: Little Johnny said he was a millionaire, but he's not, it was only a story.
Governor General 
 The term is mostly used in Commonwealth countries, where the governor general is a representative of the monarch.
Governor General 
 Sometimes the title is spelled as Governor General, which is used in Canada, but sometimes it is spelled with a hyphen "-", Governor-General, which is the spelling used in Australia.
Black hole 
 According to the general theory of relativity, it starts existing when spacetime gets curved by a huge mass.
Black hole 
 Under quantum mechanics, black holes have a temperature and emit Hawking radiation, which makes them slowly get smaller.
Black hole 
 Because black holes are very hard to see, people trying to see them look for them by the way they affect other things near them.
