A hyperpower is a country that is more powerful than every other country in every aspect.
It is more powerful than a superpower.
The United States was a hyperpower after the cold war because it was the only superpower after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
It had a big influence in politics, science, culture and military.
It also influenced the balance of power and made a new world order.
According to the Asia Power Index 2020, the United States still has the lead on the military capacity, cultural influence, resilience and defense networks, but falls behind China in economic and future resources, economic relationships and diplomatic influence.
This index ranks power and influence only in Asia Pacific.
It is easy to see areas where the United States is no longer so dominant.
Its economy is weakened by manufacturing abroad; internal social conflicts are greater.
However, it is still by far the top country on military capability, though not on size of its army.
Perhaps the world no longer has a superpower.

A revolving door is a way to enter or exit  a building.
In a revolving door, several panels are fixed on a central axis.
The panel can then be rotated to enter or exit the building.
Buildings are usually fitted with revolving doors to save energy: Revolving doors can be made to hinder airflow.
This means that less heat is lost.
The first to develop revolving doors was  H. Bockhacker.
In 1881, he registered a patent in Germany for a "door without airflow".
Theophilus Van Kannel registered a patent for what he called "storm door", in 1888.
Revolving doors also have problems: Once they start spinning, they force the people to keep a certain walking speed.
People who cannot keep up the walking speed may fall and hurt themselves.
People in a wheelchair cannot use revolving doors.
The same probably applies to blind people.
Revolving doors cannot be used in an emergency: They cannot be passed at a fast speed.
For all these reasons, many countries have rules that buildings must also have other doors.
In hotels and public buildings, is usual to find "push" doors either side of a revolving door.
Turnstile exit-only doors are often used at large sports stadia (stadiums), theme parks, and other such venues.
They let people exit freely, but stop entry without payment.
These doors usually work mechanically, with the door panels constructed of horizontal bars which pass through a "wall" of interlacing (interdigitated) bars.
This blocks people from entering illegally through the exit.

is a type of Japanese paper that is made in Echizen, Fukui Prefecture, Japan.
Echizen washi is the best in Japan in terms of quality, variety, and production volume.
The most distinctive feature of Echizen Washi is the variety.
It can be roughly divided into 8 types, and the large division can be divided into very fine types.
Each Echizen Washi has various uses, including everyday paper such as sliding doors and shoji paper, wrapping paper, and postcards, as well as official paper.
Among them, Echizen Hoshoshi (越前奉書紙) and Echizen Torinokogami (越前鳥子紙) are Echizen washi that designated important intangible cultural properties of Japan.
The Legend of Kawakami Gozen
A beautiful goddess has appeared to the villagers who live in poverty because they are not suitable for farmland.
The goddess said, "This village is located between mountains and there are few fields, making it difficult to live in.
However, there are plenty of rivers and mountains with clean water.
If you work with papermaking, your life will be easier."
When asked by a delighted villager for her name, she only replied "I live upstream on the Okamoto River" and went away.
The villagers worshiped the goddess as "Kawakami Gozen(literally "the lady of the upper reaches")" and built a shrine.
Otaki Shrine remains in Echizen City as the only shrine in Japan that enshrines the goddess of paper.
History of Echizen Washi
Echizen washi has a history of about 1,500 years.
In 4~5c, ancient (old) documents in Shōsō-in confirmed the existence of Echizen washi but it is said that Echizen washi had made before it.
In the early days, Echizen washi was used as a sutra paper.
In 1341, The paper was named “Echizen-hosho” and began to produced and used in large quantities as official documents for the higher classes.
Echizen washi developed under the protection of the shogunate and lords.
In 1661, the first Japanese biils, “hansatsu“, are published in Fukui Prefecture and made in Echizen washi production areas.
In 1868 the first Japanese official bills "Dajokansatsu" were published and made in Echizen washi production area. (
As a result of the government's review and comparison of bills issued by various clans throughout Japan, Echizen washi was considered to be the best quality in Japan.)
During the Edo period (1603-1868), the Fukui domain produced paper money that could be used for transactions within the domain, and was one of the first in Japan to use paper money.
Later, in the Meiji era (1868-1912), paper from Goka, ‘Echizen washi’,  was also used for banknotes issued by the government.
Although today's yen banknotes are not printed on Goka paper, it is no exaggeration to say that the paper produced here is the direct ancestor of Japan's modern banknotes.
How to make
The raw materials for Echizen Washi are kozo, mitsumata, and ganpi.
Hemp and wood pulp are also materials.
Paper is squeezed using the fibers of these trees and glue extracted from plants such as Abelmoschus manihot called "neri".
How to make Echizen Washi
The traditional technique of making Echizen washi is still inherited.
Shave the bark of the raw material.
Soak the remaining materials in step 1 in water and then wash.
This process softens the materials.
To further soften them, boil them in water with calcium carbonate such as lye, and then steam them.
This prosses makes it easier to remove impurities from fibers.
Soak the fiber of step 3 in running water to wash away the lye that comes out when boiling and impurities.
Remove the remaining impurities by hands.
On a table, beat with a stick made of hard wood to loosen the fibers.
Fill with water in a tank that strains Japanese paper, add the beaten fiber and "Neri (role of glue)" and mix.
Scoop the liquid into a mold and rock it to form a layer of paper.
The wet papers are placed on a board called "紙床板(sisyo-ita)" and squeezed to remove water.
Stick the paper of step8 on the board one by one and dry it.
It used to be sun-dried, but now it is done in a drying room.
The dried paper is checked one by one to make sure there are no scratches or stains, and it's done.
Producing Area
The Goka area is Otaki-cho, Echizen City, a production center for Echizen Japanese paper, which is said to have started 1,500 years ago.
It consists of Iwamoto-town, Oizu-town, Odaki-cho, Sadatomo-town, and Shinzaike-town.

Echizen Ono Castle is a Japanese castle that is in Ono City, Fukui Prefecture.
Until the Meiji period, the administrative headquarters of the Ono Domain region was established.
In 2017, it was included in "Second series Top 100 Japanese Castle".
The castle which appears every conditions are met in the morning, is called "castle in the sky (天空の城)".
In 1575, Nagachika Kanamori began to build a castle on Kameyama mountain, a small mountain in Ono County.
It took several years to build the castle.
After the Kazunori Aoki’s era, the Echizen Matsudaira family became a shogunal property, and the castle owner changed many times until the Doi family got it.
The castle burned down in 1775 and was rebuilt in 1795 with the exception of the castle tower, but it was destroyed again after the Meiji Restoration.
The castle tower today was built in the Shōwa period (1968).
Castle tower
Echizen Ono Castle had a large watchtower on the second and third floors with an observation tower in the main area and another smaller watchtower on the second floor.
It also had multiple Kuruwa--districts limited by water, fence, or anything else.
These districts were the secondary area of a castle (二ノ丸, Ninomaru) and the furthest outer area (三ノ丸, Sannomaru) at the beginning of the Kameyama mountain, connecting a canal and a river to protect the castle tower.
Protecting the castle tower was important role for Echizen Ono castle.
Echizen Ono Castle has a stone wall  (石垣, ishigaki) which is a wall or fence made by assembling stones, with a construction method called Nozura-zumi (野面積み), which is an old style stone wall piled up without processing natural stone.
Nozura-zumi has a good drainage, which are resistant to weathering.
This is nowadays a valuable historic site.
Lords of Echizen Ono Castle
In the history of Echizen Ono Castle, 19 different feudal lords have changed (大名, daimyo), until the time in which the castle was sold in 1872.
In addition to Nagachika Kanamori, the castle owners of the Azuchi-Momoyama period included Kazunori Aoki, who is said to be related to Hideyoshi Toyotomi, and Hideo Oda, the grandson of Nobunaga Oda.

Dienoycus is a genus of dinosaur.
Dienocus is a dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur.
There are one known species in this genus: Deinonychus antirrhopus.
This dinosaur could be up to 3.4 meters (11 ft) long.
It lived during the early Cretaceous Period, about 115–108 million years ago (from the mid-Aptian to early Albian stages).
Fossils have been found in the U.S. states of Montana, Utah, Wyoming, and Oklahoma, in rocks of the Cloverly Formation, Cedar Mountain Formation, and Antlers Formation.
It had a large claw on its foot.
History of paleontology
Paleontologist John Ostrom's study of Deinonychus in the late 1960s changed the way scientists thought about dinosaurs.
It caused the "dinosaur renaissance" and made scientists argue whether dinosaurs were warm-blooded or cold-blooded.
Before this, most people thought dinosaurs were big, slow, and looked and acted like modern reptiles.
Ostrom told other scientists that Dienocus had a small body, sleek, horizontal posture, the same kind of spine that flightless birds have, and the large claws on its feet.
All this, said Ostrom, meant Deinonychus was probably very fast and caught its food like a predator.
"Terrible claw" refers to the unusually large, sickle-shaped talon on the second toe of each hindfoot.
The fossil YPM 5205 preserves a large, strongly curved ungual.
In life, archosaurs have a horny sheath over this bone, which extends the length.
Ostrom looked at crocodile and bird claws and reconstructed the claw for YPM 5205 as over 120 millimeters (4.7 in) long.
The species name antirrhopus means "counterbalance", which refers to Ostrom's idea about the function of the tail.
As in other dromaeosaurids, the tail vertebrae have a series of ossified tendons and super-elongated bone processes.
Still, a fossil of the very closely related Velociraptor mongoliensis (IGM 100/986) has an articulated tail skeleton that is curved laterally in a long S-shape.
This suggests that, in life, the tail could bend to the sides with a high degree of flexibility.
In both the Cloverly and Antlers formations, Deinonychus remains have been found closely associated with those of the ornithopod Tenontosaurus.
Teeth discovered associated with Tenontosaurus specimens imply they were hunted, or at least scavenged upon, by Deinonychus.
Fossilized remains of Deinonychus have been recovered from the Cloverly Formation of Montana and Wyoming and in the roughly contemporary Antlers Formation of Oklahoma in North America.
The Cloverly formation has been dated to the late Aptian through early Albian stages of the early Cretaceous, about 115 to 108 Ma.
Additionally, teeth found in the Arundel Clay Facies (mid-Aptian), of the Potomac Formation on the Atlantic Coastal Plain of Maryland may be assigned to the genus.
The first remains were uncovered in 1931 in southern Montana near the town of Billings.
The team leader, paleontologist Barnum Brown, was primarily concerned with excavating and preparing the remains of the ornithopod dinosaur Tenontosaurus, but in his field report from the dig site to the American Museum of Natural History, he reported the discovery of a small carnivorous dinosaur close to a Tenontosaurus skeleton, "but encased in lime difficult to prepare."
He informally called the animal "Daptosaurus agilis" and made preparations for describing it and having the skeleton, specimen AMNH 3015, put on display but never finished this work.
Brown brought back from the Cloverly Formation the skeleton of a smaller theropod with seemingly oversized teeth that he informally named "Megadontosaurus".
John Ostrom, reviewing this material decades later, realized that the teeth came from Deinonychus, but the skeleton came from a completely different animal.
He named this skeleton Microvenator.
