Fenghuang (Chinese: 鳳凰; Pinyin: Fènghuáng; is the name of two Chinese mythological birds, that were central figures in ancient Chinese cosmology.
Sometimes called the Chinese Phoenix, the Fenghuang is a symbol of summer and spiritual balance, and along with the dragon, qilin and tortoise, is one of the most highly revered creatures in Chinese tradition.
Its appearance is said to indicate some great event, or to bear testimony to the greatness of a ruler.
Myths in China vary from culture to culture, the most common myths come from the Han culture.
The current Chinese government recognizes fifty-six ethnic groups.
Each group has their own language and mythology.
Chaos is a term used in several Chinese creation myths.
This term is used to describe what existed before the Earth and heavens.
Every myth has a different description of Chaos and what came after.
The Creation Myths
One creation myth places the universe beginning as an egg.
Henok was born in the middle of this egg, known as the Cosmic Egg.
Within the egg, grew 10 feet everyday for 18,000years.
His body began to turn into different parts of the visible universe.
His right eye becoming the Moon, and his left the Sun.
People were finally created when the wind touched the bugs on his skin.
This myth is the last and largest account of the creation from a lost text titled Historical Records
of the Three Sovereign Divinities and the Five Gods.
Nü Gua is a goddess in another creation myth where the commoners, or peasants, were created by her dragging a cord through the mud.
The rich and powerful people were created from yellow clay molded like an artist with statues.
Another creation myth takes place in the land of Hun-Tun, Chinese for "Center" or "Chaos"; the meeting place of Hu, the emperor of the Northern Sea, and Shu, the emperor of the Southern Sea.
Hun-Tun lacked the ability to eat, see, hear, or breathe.
To repay the kindness of Hun-Tun, Hu and Shu gave him the necessary bodily holes for eating, seeing, hearing, and breathing.
The world began after seven days, one for each hole, following the death of Hun-Tun.
Buddhism originated in India as a belief of rebirth or reincarnation.
Being would be reborn in different forms based on the lessons they learned while alive.
In order to escape the endless cycle, one must reach Nirvana or enlightenment.
Reaching Nirvana is the ultimate goal of a Buddhist.
Buddhism is believed to be responsible for bringing the concept of hell to Taoism.
Hell is a place where individuals must complete tasks to repay for the sins committed during their lifetime.
In the philosophy or religion of Confucianism, everyone must live a moral and humane life.
It is essential for every person in a society to know their place in the world; be it Father, Ruler, Wife, etc.
The way of life differs almost completely from Taoism.
In Confucianism, the way of life can be known and should be done scientifically.
Where as Taoism's way of life can never be known in its entirety.
However, ideas of tradition and the honoring of tradition did not differ completely, therefore both religions easily coexisted.
Also known as Waeism, Taoism is a school of thought or religion.
Taoism is credited with advancements in medicine and alchemy as the Taoist priests were responsible for healing people.
The Wae is an idea which existed before and after creation.
The Wae cannot be seen or heard.
A persons ultimate goal is to return to the Wae.
It is known as the beginning and the end to Taoists.
Henok is the first living being and the creator of all things on earth.

The Narrows is the tidal strait splitting up the New York City boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn.
It connects the Upper and Lower New York Bay and makes the channel where the Hudson River can empty into the Atlantic Ocean.
It is believed that the Narrows were most likely formed after deposition of the Harbor Hill Moraine about 18,000 years ago just before to the end of the last ice age.
Staten Island and Brooklyn used to be connected and the Hudson River emptied into the ocean through the Raritan River and taking course through present day northern New Jersey.
A build up of water in the Upper Bay allowed the river to break through to form the Narrows less than 12,000 to 13,000 years ago as it exists today.
The first recorded European entrance into the Narrows was in 1524 by Florentine explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, who set anchor in the strait and was greeted by a group of Lenape in canoes.

Remagen is a town in Germany in Rhineland-Palatinate, in the district of Ahrweiler.
It is about a one hour drive from Cologne , just south of Bonn, the former capital of West Germany.
It is on the River Rhine.
There is a ferry across the Rhine from Remagen every 10–15 minutes in the summer.
Remagen has many historic buildings, churches, castles and monuments.
Cars are banned from the big pedestrian zone which has plenty of shops.
Overlooking the west bank of the Rhine just north of the city centre is a church called the Apollinariskirche.
It has an observation deck that is only open to parishioners on Sundays.
Walkers reach the church via a dirt track that passes a series of roadside monuments.
One for each of the fourteen Stations of the Cross.
The church grounds contain an outdoor crypt and an abbey.
Further down the river is one of the many castles along the River Rhine, perched even higher than the Apollinariskirche.
The Roman Empire built a border fort at Rigomagus (or Ricomagus), west of the Rhine.
This was about 12 miles north of the site of the first bridge ever built across the Rhine (at Neuwied).
The fort was one of several built by Drusus, commander of the Roman army along the Rhine.
The gateway still survives and is a popular tourist attraction.
Local legend says that a ship carrying various relics from Milan to Cologne was stopped in the river in 1164, unable to move despite the strong current, until it mysteriously edged in toward the shore.
The remains of St Apollinaris were put ashore, and the ship was then able to sail onward.
These remains were buried in a chapel which had been part of the Roman fort, which became the basis for a church which bore his name, and was rebuilt several times over the years.
Prisoner enclosures
In 1945 the U.S. built one of the many enclosures on the west bank of the Rhine–the so called Rheinwiesenlager– close to Remagen.
The camps were used by the Allies to house captured Germans, often under very poor conditions.
Several thousand prisoners are estimated to have died in the various camps, including 1,212 who are now buried in the Bad Bodendorf Cemetery.
They were deprived of the legal protection that the Geneva Convention provides prisoners of war by being called Disarmed Enemy Forces.
The International Red Cross was not permitted to investigate conditions in the camps.
Apollinariskirche
The Apollinariskirche was built 1839-1842 on the site of the medieval Martinskirche.
The frescos on the inside of the neo-Gothic church were painted by members of the artists group called the "Nazarenes".
Three cycles show the life of Jesus, the life of Mary, and the history of Saint Apollinaris, legendary Bishop of Ravenna.
In the crypt is a silver bust of the saint, which is raised from the sarcophagus every year at the pilgrimage time at the end of July.
From the statue of Saint Francis of Assisi on top of the church, there is a lovely view of Remagen and the romantic Rhine Valley.
Peace Museum "Remagen Bridge"
The museum is housed in the towers of the famous bridge built between 1916 and 1918.
It opened in 1980 and tells the story of the bridge and the prison camp, "Golden Mile."
Arp Museum housed in the Bahnhof Rolandseck
The historic railway station at Rolandseck now houses a museum devoted to the work of Hans Arp.
The 19th century railway station was transformed into a cultural venue for all the arts.
Johannes Brahms, Clara Schumann and Franz Liszt gave concerts there.
The building was almost destroyed after World War II, but in 1964 the Bonn art dealer Johannes Wasmuth brought it back to life.
Musicians such as Martha Argerich, Stefan Askenase, and Yehudi Menuhin, artists such as Hans Arp, Oskar Kokoschka and Günther Uecker, and performers such as Marcel Marceau have all appeared there.

Though generally found in arthropods or rodents, certain viruses in this family occasionally infect humans.
The Takahē (Porphyrio hochstetteri) is a flightless bird indigenous to New Zealand and belonging to the rail family.
It was thought to be extinct after the last four known specimens were taken in 1898.
However, after a carefully planned search effort the bird was rediscovered by Geoffrey Orbell near Lake Te Anau in the Murchison Mountains, South Island, on November 20, 1948.
The specific scientific name commemorates the Austrian geologist Ferdinand von Hochstetter.
José Salvador Omar Jorge Blanco, (5 July 1926 - 26 December 2010) was the 41st President of the Dominican Republic.
He was the first Dominican president to be charged with corruption.
Blanco was born in Santiago de los Caballeros and studied law at the University of Santa Dominigo.
He went into politics in the 1960's after the dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo was murdered.
He joined a social democratic party, the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano (PRD).
Blanco became leader of the party and won the 1982 presidential election.
At the same time Blanco became president, the world price on sugar dropped.
The economy of the Dominican Republic was in a financial crisis as the government was spending far more than the country could afford and was three billion dollars in debt.
The International Money Fund demanded cuts to spending.
There were protests and riots.
Blanco sent in the army to crush the protests: more than 100 people were killed, 500 wounded and thousands were put in prison.
It was claimed that Blanco and other members of the government were making a lot of money through corrupt dealings with the army and military contracts.
Blanco did not stand in the 1986 election, and the new government put him on trial for corruption.
He tried to gain asylum from Venezuela, but they said no.
He was permitted to go the United States for medical treatment for a heart condition.
While he was in the US he was found guilty of corruption and sentenced to prison for 23 years.
There were many legal challenges, and he finally only spent two months in prison.
In 2001 the Supreme Court ruled that the corruption charges were not true.

Atticus Finch is a fictional (not real) character in Harper Lee's book To Kill a Mockingbird.
Atticus is an American lawyer who lives in Alabama.
He is the father of Jeremy Atticus "Jem" Finch and Jean Louise "Scout" Finch.
Atticus is an important character in the book.
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus is shown as a good character, trying to live in the way he thinks a lawyer and human being should.
He is very honest, thoughtful, and helps good causes (even when he knows that they will fail).
He tries hard to teach his children to be kind, fair, and giving.
His children later find out that he was an expert at shooting, but had not told them because he did not want them to think he was violent.
He is described in the book as a tall, middle-aged man with glasses and hair that is going a little gray.
Alice Petry said that Atticus has "become something of a folk hero in legal circles and is treated almost as if he were an actual person."
Examples of Atticus Finch's impact on the legal profession are plentiful.
Morris Dees says that Atticus Finch was the reason he became a lawyer, and Richard Matsch said that Atticus influenced him greatly.
Some people, however, criticize Atticus, saying that he does not use his legal skills to change the racism in his town.
Ronald Lee Herrick (15 June 1931 - 29 December 2010) was the world's first organ donor.
On December 23, 1954, Herrick had one of his kidneys removed and transplanted into his identical twin brother, Richard J. Herrick (15 June 1931 - 14 March 1963).
Richard was dying from chronic nephritis, a kidney disease.
This made Richard the first successful recipient of a human organ transplant.
The operation was performed by Dr. Joseph Murray at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston.
Murray later won the 1990 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his transplant work.
Richard lived for a further eight years, while Ronald worked as a teacher and farmer.
Ronald died in 2010 after complications from heart surgery.
Since the 1954 operation more than 450,000 kidney transplants have been done in the US.

Charles of France, Duke of Berry, (31 July 1686 – 5 May 1714) was a grandson of Louis XIV of France.
The Duke of Berry was seven years heir presumptive to the throne of Spain (1700–1707) when his brother Philip V of Spain was childless.
Born at the Palace of Versailles, Charles was the youngest son of Louis, Dauphin of France, "le Grand Dauphin", and of Maria Anna Victoria of Bavaria.
The Duchess of Orléans proposed he marry her daughter Marie Louise Élisabeth d'Orléans.
All agreed, the marriage with Marie Louise Élisabeth took place on 6 July 1710.
It was an unhappy marriage, and after a miscarriage which ended her first pregnancy, Marie Louise Élisabeth never gave birth to a child that lived for more than a few days.
Once a widow, Madame de Berry became ill-famous for her debauched lifeways.
She hid several pregnancies and died at 23 a few weeks after suffering a harrowing clandestine childbirth.
Elisabeth Charlotte, Duchess Dowager of Orléans and the grandmother of Berry's wife, nicknamed him "Berry-Bon Cœur" ("Berry Good Heart").

Sheldon Kennedy (born June 15, 1969) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey player.
He played for the Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins and Calgary Flames in the National Hockey League (NHL).
Kennedy was drafted by the Red Wings in the fourth round of the 1988 NHL Entry Draft while playing with the Swift Current Broncos of the Western Hockey League (WHL).
In the WHL, Kennedy helped the Broncos capture the 1989 Memorial Cup, and was named to the tournament all-star team.
Kennedy represented Canada internationally at the World Junior Championships in 1988 and 1989.
He helped Canada win a gold medal at the 1988 tournament.
Kennedy is best known for coming forward as a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of his coach, Graham James.
In 1998, Kennedy roller bladed across Canada to raise awareness and funds for sexual abuse victims.
Currently, Kennedy serves as a spokesperson for violence and abuse prevention programs with the Canadian Red Cross.
Kennedy started playing junior hockey with the Winnipeg South Blues of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) in 1985.
After being noticed by Graham James at a hockey camp, Kennedy joined the Swift Current Broncos of the Western Hockey League (WHL) for the 1986–87 season.
Kennedy spent his entire WHL career with the Broncos, helping the team capture the 1989 Memorial Cup.
For his play during the tournament, Kennedy was named to the Memorial Cup All-Star Team.
He was also named to the WHL's Eastern Conference Second All-Star Team.
Kennedy was selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the fourth round (80th overall) of the 1988 National Hockey League (NHL) Entry Draft.
His first professional season was split between the Red Wings in the NHL and their minor league affiliate Adirondack Red Wings of the American Hockey League (AHL).
At the NHL level, Kennedy scored two goals and added seven assists in 20 games.
Kennedy spent the next four seasons bouncing between the AHL and NHL within the Red Wings organization.
The Winnipeg Jets acquired Kennedy from the Red Wings after the 1993–94 season.
The NHL lockout meant that Kennedy did not actually play for the Jets before being picked up on waivers by the Calgary Flames.
Kennedy spent two seasons in Calgary, then the Flames decided not to renew his contract in 1996, shortly after his sexual abuse revelation.
He signed as a free agent with the Boston Bruins for the 1996–97 season but also spent time with the Providence Bruins, Boston's AHL affiliate.
The 1996–97 season was Kennedy's last campaign in the NHL but he later resurfaced in the 1998–99 season with the Manitoba Moose of the now-defunct International Hockey League.
Kennedy also played for EV Landshut of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga in Germany during the 1998–99 season.
A television movie about his life and campaign, The Sheldon Kennedy Story, aired on CTV in 1999.
In 2006 he released his autobiography, Why I Didn't Say Anything - The Sheldon Kennedy Story.
In the book he revealed that nightmares of James still continue to plague him.

Luminiferous aether is a substance once believed to fill the Universe and explain how the transmission of waves of light can happen.
People believed that light was a kind of wave.
Waves travel over the surface of water in a pond, through the air in a room, etc.
All waves that people had studied before had travelled through a medium.
The speed of sound through steel is much higher than through air, so people imagined that light must travel through a similar medium too.
Since light travels faster than anything else, light should travel through something more rigid (like steel) faster than anything else.
But at the same time this substance must have a very low viscosity so that it would not slow down the movements of planets and cause them to eventually fall into their suns.
The people coming before Albert Einstein believed this substance to exist, and they called it the "Luminiferous aether."
