Zenkō-ji

Historically , Zenkō - ji is perhaps most famous for its involvement in the battles between Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen in the 16th century , when it served as one of Kenshin 's bases of operations .

Currently , Zenkō - ji is one of the few remaining pilgrimage sites in Japan .

Zenkō - ji was founded before Buddhism in Japan split into several different sects .

It currently belongs to both the Tendai and Jōdoshū schools of Buddhism , and is co - managed by twenty - five priests from the former school , and fourteen from the latter .

The temple enshrines images of the Amida Buddha .

According to legend , the image , having caused dispute between two clans , was dumped into a canal .

It was later rescued by Honda Yoshimitsu .

The temple was thus named " Zenkō , " according to the Chinese transliteration of Yoshimitsu 's name .

The main Buddhist image is a hibutsu ( secret Buddha ) , a hidden Buddha statue , not shown to the public .

This hibutsu is rumored to be the first Buddha statue to ever be brought to Japan .

The commandments of the temple require the absolute secrecy of the statue , prohibiting it to be shown to anyone , including the chief priest of the temple .

However , a replica of the statue ( Maedachi Honzon ) has been created which can be shown publicly once every six years in spring , in a ceremony called Gokaichō .

This event attracts many worshipers and visitors .

When the statue was on display in 2003 , Zenkō - ji cooperated with Motozenkō - ji and Zenkō - ji of Kofu , Yamanashi Prefecture .

The most recent display of " Maedachi Honzon " took place in April and May , 2015 .

The temple contains a statue of Binzuru , a physician who was said to be Buddha 's follower .

Visitors to the temple touch the statue in order to cure their ailments .

The temple also contains an inner prayer chamber , accessible to visitors .

Currently , a daily morning ritual is held there by the high priest or priestess .

From the inner chamber , a narrow staircase leads down to a completely dark corridor .

In this corridor worshippers try to touch a metal key hanging on the wall , in order to gain enlightenment .

The key represents the Key to the Western Paradise of the Amida Buddha .

The British Army during the American Revolutionary War served for eight years in campaigns fought around the globe .

Defeat at the Siege of Yorktown to a combined Franco - US force ultimately led to the loss of the Thirteen Colonies in eastern North America , and the concluding Treaty of Paris deprived Britain of many of the gains achieved in the Seven Years ' War .

However several victories elsewhere meant that much of the British Empire remained intact .

In 1775 the British Army was a volunteer force .

The army had suffered from lack of peacetime spending and ineffective recruitment in the decade since the Seven Years ' War , circumstances which had left it in a dilapidated state at the outbreak of war in North America .

To offset this the British government quickly hired contingents of German mercenaries to serve as auxiliaries alongside the regular army units in campaigns from 1776 .

Limited army impressment was also introduced in England and Scotland to bolster recruitment in 1778 , however the practice proved too unpopular and was proscribed again in 1780 .

The attrition of constant fighting , the inability of the Royal Navy to decisively defeat the French Navy , and the withdrawal of the majority of British forces from North America in 1778 ultimately led to the British army 's defeat .

The surrender of Cornwallis 's army at Yorktown in 1781 allowed the Whig opposition to gain a majority in parliament , and British operations were brought to an end .

List of mayors of Sofia

This is a chronological list of mayors of Sofia , the capital of Bulgaria , since that post was established after the Liberation of Bulgaria in 1878 .

Initially , the mayors of Sofia were assigned by the Provisional Russian Administration .

After the newly restored Bulgarian state was already functioning on its own , in the end of 1878 , mayors were chosen by the municipal council .

Until 1944 , the mayor ( with the official title of " Chairman of the City Administrative Council " ) was appointed through a Tsar 's decree after a candidate was suggested by the Minister of Internal Affairs .

After that date , the mayor ( officially " Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Sofia City ( later Capital ) People 's Council " ) was formally chosen by the municipal councilors , albeit after being specified by the Bulgarian Communist Party management .

Since the democratic changes and the 7th Grand National Assembly in 1990 that led to the appointment of an interim mayor ( Green Party of Bulgaria leader Aleksandar Karakachanov ) , the residents of Sofia received the right to choose their mayor , the first democratically elected one being Aleksandar Yanchulev on 13 October 1991 .


Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express , the fourth album by The Go - Betweens , was released in March 1986 in the UK on Beggars Banquet Records , the record label that would release the remainder of the original group 's LPs through their break - up in 1989 .

Trágala

Trágala ( Spanish : " swallow it " ) is a song the Spanish liberals used to humiliate the absolutists after the military pronunciamiento of Rafael del Riego in Cabezas de San Juan , at the beginning of the period known as Trienio Liberal ( 1820 - 1823 ) .

Particularly the satire is directed against Ferdinand VII , who in 1820 was forced to swear the Constitution of Cadiz when he pronounced his famous phrase " Let us march frankly , and I the first , by the constitutional path " .

It is said that Rafael de Riego himself ordered , upon entering Madrid , for this composition to be spread .

After the intervention of the powers of the Holy Alliance ( French expedition of the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis commanded by the Duke of Angoulême ) , it became a symbol of resistance against the political repression of the Ominous Decade .

It is probably modelled after other songs of the French Revolution such as Ça Ira .

This song , with different lyrics , continued to be sung in Spain as a leftist symbol against the right , the Catholic Church or the monarchy in different historical conjunctures , notably during the Second Republic and the Spanish Civil War .

There were many versions of the anonymous and popular lyrics .

La Pitita is counter song , sung by supporters of Ferdinand VII .

Originally a Democrat , he evolved into a Republican during the Civil War , and helped perpetuate the party 's political machinery in Wisconsin .

His sustained support for President Ulysses S. Grant 's administration despite allegations of corruption lost him the backing of reformers , and his legal arguments in favor of Democratic candidate Samuel J. Tilden in the disputed presidential election of 1876 outraged many Republicans .

A gifted orator , he was dubbed " the Webster of the West . "

Had we gotten a hot - shot guitar player , they might want to rock the guitar a little too hard , and we ’d lose the attention to the rhythm . ”

An EP entitled Wanted : More was released posthumously in May 2004 and features six songs recorded in December 1996 .

Cyprus at the Olympics

Cyprus has sent athletes to every Olympic Games held since 1980 .

Cyprus earned its first Olympic medal in the 2012 Summer Olympics when Pavlos Kontides earned a silver medal in the men 's laser sailing event .

They had a near miss at the 2008 Olympics when Antonis Nikolaidis lost the bronze medal shoot - off in men 's skeet .

The first modern Olympian from Cyprus was actually Anastasios Andreou in 1896 , who competed under the Greek flag .

At this time , Cyprus was a British colony .

Because the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is not internationally recognized by any major authority ( including the IOC ) , it has no Olympic committee .

Therefore , all Cypriot Olympians are required to compete under the name and flag of the Republic of Cyprus .

Those who are unable or unwilling to compete under the flag of the Republic either compete for Turkey , or for another country , or not at all .


El Niño

El Niño (; ) is the warm phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation ( commonly called ENSO ) and is associated with a band of warm ocean water that develops in the central and east - central equatorial Pacific ( between approximately the International Date Line and 120 ° W ) , including off the Pacific coast of South America .

El Niño Southern Oscillation refers to the cycle of warm and cold temperatures , as measured by sea surface temperature , SST , of the tropical central and eastern Pacific Ocean .

El Niño is accompanied by high air pressure in the western Pacific and low air pressure in the eastern Pacific .

The cool phase of ENSO is called " La Niña " with SST in the eastern Pacific below average and air pressures high in the eastern and low in western Pacific .

The ENSO cycle , both El Niño and La Niña , cause global changes of both temperatures and rainfall .

Developing countries that are dependent upon agriculture and fishing , particularly those bordering the Pacific Ocean , are usually most affected .

In American Spanish , the capitalized term " El Niño " refers to " the boy " , so named because the pool of warm water in the Pacific near South America is often at its warmest around Christmas .

The original name , " El Niño de Navidad " , traces its origin centuries back to Peruvian fishermen , who named the weather phenomenon in reference to the newborn Christ .

" La Niña " , chosen as the ' opposite ' of El Niño , literally translates to " the girl " .

Lenin was a mushroom

Lenin was a mushroom ( ) was a highly influential televised hoax by Soviet musician Sergey Kuryokhin and reporter Sergey Sholokhov .

It was first broadcast on 17 May 1991 on Leningrad Television .

The hoax took the form of an interview on the television program Pyatoe Koleso ( The Fifth Wheel ) .

In the interview , Kuryokhin , impersonating a historian , narrated his findings that Vladimir Lenin consumed large quantities of psychedelic mushrooms and eventually became a mushroom himself .

Kuryokhin arrived at his conclusion through a long series of logical fallacies and appeals to the authority of various " sources " ( such as Carlos Castaneda , the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky ) , creating the illusion of a reasoned and plausible logical chain .

The timing of the hoax played a large role in its success , coming as it did during the Glasnost period when the ebbing of censorship in the Soviet Union led to many revelations about the country 's history , often presented in sensational form .

Furthermore , Soviet television had , up to that point , been regarded by its audience as conservative in style and content .

As a result , a large number of Soviet citizens ( one estimate puts the number at 11,250,000 audience members ) took the deadpan " interview " at face value , in spite of the absurd claims presented .

Sholokhov has said that perhaps the most notable result of the show was an appeal by a group of party members to the Leningrad Regional Committee of the CPSU to clarify the veracity of Kuryokhin 's claim .

According to Sholokhov , in response to the request one of the top regional functionaries stated that " Lenin could not have been a mushroom " because " a mammal can not be a plant . "

Modern taxonomy classifies mushrooms as fungi , a separate kingdom from plants .

The incident has served as a watershed moment in Soviet ( and Russian ) culture and has often been used as proof of the gullibility of the masses .

Smilacaceae

Smilacaceae , the greenbrier family , is a family of flowering plants .

Up to some decades ago the genera now included in family Smilacaceae were often assigned to a more broadly defined family Liliaceae , but for the past twenty to thirty years most botanists have accepted Smilacaceae as a distinct family .

It is considered that the two families diverged around 55 millions years ago during the Early Paleogene possibly near the boundary between Paleocene and Eocene .

One characteristic that distinguishes Smilacaceae from most of the other members of the Liliaceae - like Liliales is that it has true vessels in its conducting tissue .

Another is that the veins of the leaves , between major veins , are reticulate ( net - shaped ) , rather than parallel as in most monocots .

Wikiquote

Wikiquote is one of a family of wiki - based projects run by the Wikimedia Foundation , running on MediaWiki software .

Based on an idea by Daniel Alston and implemented by Brion Vibber , the goal of the project which began as an outgrowth to Wikipedia Famous Quotations is to produce collaboratively a vast reference of quotations from prominent people , books , films , proverbs , etc .

and to be as proper as possible in regard to the details of the quotations and also providing the appropriate human reference of the quotation .

Though there are many online collections of quotations , Wikiquote is distinguished by being among the few that provide an opportunity for visitors to contribute and the very few which strive to provide exact sources for each quotation as well as corrections of misattributed quotations .

Wikiquote pages are cross - linked to articles about the notable personalities on Wikipedia .

Initially , the project was created solely in English ; a later expansion to include additional languages was started in July 2004 .
