Emperor Go-Fukakusa was the 89th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. This reign spanned the years 1246 through 1260; this 13th-century sovereign was named after the 9th-century Emperor Ninmyō and go-, translates as "later", thus he could be called the "Later Emperor Fukakusa". The Japanese word go has been translated to mean the "second one". Before his ascension to the Chrysanthemum Throne, his personal name was Hisahito. Although the Roman-alphabet spelling of the name of this 13th-century emperor is the same as that of the personal name of a current member of the Imperial family, the kanji are different: Emperor Go-Fukakusa Prince Hisahito Prince Hisahito of Akishino He was the second son of Emperor Go-Saga. Empress: Saionji Kimiko Higashinijō‘in, Saionji Saneuji's daughter Second daughter: Imperial Princess Takako Daughter (1265-1266） Third daughter: Imperial Princess Reishi Imperial Prince Priest Shonnin (性仁法親王. 1247: In the 4th year of Go-Saga-tennō's reign, he abdicated.

Shortly thereafter, Emperor Go-Fukakusa is said to have acceded to the throne. In 1259, at the insistence of Retired Emperor Go-Saga, he abdicated at the age of 15 to his younger brother, who would become Emperor Kameyama. After Emperor Go-Uda's ascension in 1260, Saionji Sanekane negotiated with the Bakufu, succeeded in getting Emperor Go-Fukakusa's son Hirohito named as Crown Prince. In 1287, with his ascension as Emperor Fushimi, Go-Fukakusa's cloistered rule began. In 1290, he entered the priesthood. But, with his seventh son, Imperial Prince Hisaaki becoming the 8th Kamakura shōgun among other things, the position of his Jimyōin-tō became strengthened. In 1304, he died, he is enshrined with other emperors at the imperial tomb called Fukakusa no kita no misasagi in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto. Kugyō is a collective term for the few most powerful men attached to the court of the Emperor of Japan in pre-Meiji eras. During those years in which the court's actual influence outside the palace walls was minimal, the hierarchic organization persisted.

In general, this elite group included only three to four men at a time. These were hereditary courtiers whose experience and background would have brought them to the pinnacle of a life's career. During Go-Fukakusa's reign, this apex of the Daijō-kan included: Sesshō, Ichijō Sanetsune, 1246–1247 Sesshō, Konoe Kanetsune, 1247–1252 Sesshō, Takatsukasa Kanehira, 1252–1254 Kampaku, Takatsukasa Kanehira, 1254–1261 Sadaijin Udaijin Nadaijin Dainagon The years of Go-Fukakusa's reign are more identified by more than one era name or nengō.

By December 1995 the military had captured most of the Valikamam region of the peninsula, including the city of Jaffna. By 16 May 1996 the military had recaptured the entire peninsula. In late 1996 the government announced elections would be held for 23 local authorities in Jaffna District, Kilinochchi District, Mannar District and Vavuniya District but following opposition from Tamil political parties postponed them. On 3 December 1997 the government announced that elections would be held for the 17 local authorities on the Jaffna peninsula; the elections were held on 29 January 1998. On 1 January 2002 local authority elections were called for the entire country, it was announced that elections would be held on 25 March 2002 in the north and east, on 20 March 2002 in the rest of the country.

On 17 September 2002 elections in the north and east were postponed, for a second time, until 25 June 2003. In June 2003 elections in the north and east were postponed, for a third time, until 24 January 2004. In January 2004 elections in the north and east, except for local authorities in Ampara District, were postponed, for a fourth time, until 23 October 2004. On 27 January 2006 local authority elections were called for the entire country, it was announced that elections would be held on 30 March 2006 across the entire country.

Cultural contracts refer to the degree that cultural values are exchanged between groups. It extends identity negotiation theory and uncertainty reduction theory by focusing defining the negotiation experience from the perspective of minority groups when dealing with majority cultural norms. Cultural contracts theory was developed in 1999 by Dr. Ronald L. Jackson, an identity scholar and a professor in media and cinema studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. Cultural contracts first appeared in Communication Quarterly in 1999; the theory is inspired by Ting-Toomey's identity validation model that emerged from a study of European American and African American communication experiences. Both theories are rooted in the exchanges between strangers as described in Berger and Calabrese's uncertainty reduction theory. Cultural contracts focuses on the exchanges between traditionally marginalized groups and majority groups in power in American society from the standpoint of the minority member.

The theory is not limited to oral communication. Any value that makes up an individual's worldview, including behavior and other cultural norms, can be negotiated and subjected to a cultural contract. Cultural contracts suggests that marginalized identities are in natural conflict. In order to achieve communication, individuals must decide how much of their values will be negotiated; this results in one of three contracts by the minority identity: ready-to-sign contracts. Most individuals are not aware that they sign cultural contracts; each contract is a "result of how identities have been and constructed and exposed." The first contract is a ready-to-sign contract, or assimilation, which occurs when individuals replace their culture identity for the dominant culture. This contract benefits the majority. There is no room for negotiating marginalized identity with mainstream ideals in this contract with no perceived benefit to the marginalized group. Quasi-completed contracts result in temporarily incorporating a small part of an individual's value to the mainstream value, vice versa.

This is a short-term contract since neither identity is dominant in this interaction. Lastly, co-completed contracts result in blending values together. Cultural differences are valued in this contract. In certain instance, values are penetrated and are not up for exchange. Others are more surface and the perceived benefits of the contract do not conflict with our core identity; this will determine if an individual is willing to remain in conflict. The contracts can be signed one or two ways: the signee perceives a benefit in accommodating or assimilating, or the signee is forced to accommodate or assimilate. Applications. In addition to identity research, cultural contracts theory has been used in higher education scholarship to explore the relationships between White students and African American faculty The theory has been used to explore the cultural contracts African American women sign in their beauty and hair choices

The Lizzie Robinson House, located at 2864 Corby Street in North Omaha, United States, is the location of the first Church of God in Christ congregation in the state. This was a Pentecostal denomination founded in the late 19th century in Lexington, Mississippi, by Charles Price Jones and Charles Harrison Mason. Most of the COGIC members and churches were in the Deep South states. During the Great Migration of the first half of the twentieth century, African-American migrants to northern cities established new COGIC congregations across the country. Built in 1910, the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 25, 1993, was designated an Omaha landmark on June 9, 1992.
