Gravitas: How did Japan find 7200 new islands?

by



In a new survey, Japan discovered it has 7200 more islands than it previously thought. Digital mapping by the geospatial information authority of Japan recently found there to be 14,125 islands in Japanese territory, more than double the figure of 6,852 that has been in official use. Molly Gambhir reports.

  2. Traditional Jews pray three times a day, morning,

    afternoon, and evening. For the morning prayers,

    men (and now sometimes women) wear a prayer-

    shawl (tallit) and phylacteries (tefillin), black

    boxes with black leather straps that are bound to

    the biceps and the forehead. The boxes contain

    the four passages in the Torah where Jews are

    commanded to wear such symbols, and they help

    to dedicate worshipers to God and God’s com-

    mandments. Whenever praying or studying Jewish

    texts, Jewish men (and now some Jewish women)

    traditionally wear a head covering (kippah in

    Hebrew, yarmulke in Yiddish) or hat as a mark of

    reverence for God. If one can, one is supposed to

    pray with a prayer quorum (minyan) of ten Jews,

    but if that is not possible, one should pray on

    one’s own. All of the American Jewish movements

    have published their own prayer books, all of

    which come in versions with English translations

    accompanying the traditional Hebrew prayers. A

    rabbi is not needed to lead a community in

    prayer; any Jew who knows how may do so.

    In addition to the daily prayers, Jews may

    pray to God at any time. Those in distress often

    use selections from the Book of Psalms as a

    source of comfort and hope. Prayers are tradi-

    tionally offered in the synagogue on behalf of

    those who are ill, for Jews believe that physi-

    cians are God’s partners in the ongoing act of

    healing but that ultimately life and death and

    sickness and health are in God’s hands.

  11. This reminded me of a childhood incident. We went to a restaurant and among other things ordered a chicken dish. I was adamant that I needed 5 chicken pieces whereas the dish came with 3. To pacify me, the chef came with a knife and asked how many pieces I want. I said 5 and he turned around and made 3 pieces to 5. I did not understand until I grew older. I was happy😂I hope this counting does not end up like that.
