Gilbert Sheldon was the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1663 until his death. He was born in Stanton, Staffordshire in the parish of Ellastone, on 19 June 1598, the youngest son of Roger Sheldon, he was educated at Oxford. In 1619 he was incorporated at Cambridge. In 1622 he was elected fellow of All Souls' College, where he took the degrees of BD on 11 November 1628 and DD on 25 June 1634. In 1622 he was ordained, shortly afterwards he became domestic chaplain to Thomas Coventry, 1st Baron Coventry. In March 1636 he was elected warden of All Souls' on the death of Richard Astley, he had made the acquaintance of William Laud, corresponded with him on college business, university politics, on the conversion of William Chillingworth from Roman Catholicism. Sheldon was not a Laudian, he resisted Laud's appointment of Jeremy Taylor to a fellowship at All Souls'. In 1634 and 1640 he was pro-vice-chancellor. In 1638 he was on the commission of visitation for Merton College. During the years 1632–1639 he received the livings of Hackney.

Sheldon gravitated towards the Great Tew circle of Lucius Cary, was on friendly terms with Edward Hyde. He became a royal chaplain through Coventry, the king intended preferment for him, plans interrupted by the political crises, he was intimate with the Royalist leaders, participated in the negotiations for the Uxbridge treaty of 1645. During this period he became with Henry Hammond one of the churchmen closest to the king, attended him as Clerk of the Closet in Oxford in Newmarket, Suffolk and in the Isle of Wight; when the parliamentarians occupied Oxford in 1646 he resisted the visitation, but was and physically ejected from All Souls in early 1648. Taken into custody, he was to have been imprisoned in Wallingford Castle with Hammond but the commander was unwilling to have them, he was freed, with restrictions on his movements that year. He lived for a dozen years in the Midlands, at Snelston in Derbyshire or with friends in Staffordshire and Nottinghamshire, he was active in fundraising for Charles II in exile.

He corresponded with Jeremy Taylor, whom he supported, with Hyde. On the death of John Palmer, whom the visitors had made warden of All Souls' in his place, on 4 March 1659, he was reinstated. On 21 September 1660, Sheldon was nominated Bishop of London. On 28 October, he was consecrated in the Henry VII Chapel at Westminster Abbey. Since William Juxon was now Archbishop of Canterbury, but was aged and infirm, Sheldon in practical terms exercised many of the powers of the archbishopric in the period to 1663, he was on the privy council, he was commissioned to consecrate the new Scottish bishops. The Savoy Conference of 1661 was held at his lodgings, he hardly was understood to be pulling strings in terms of the outcome. In his formulation, Puritan objections should be considered; the subsequent Uniformity Act 1662 was much in line with Sheldon's thinking. The Act was a sequel to Sheldon's successful orchestration of opposition to Charles II's intended Declaration of Indulgence, earlier in 1662, he was translated to become Archbishop of Canterbury in 1663: the congé d'élire was issued on 14 July, Sheldon was elected on 11 August, royal assent was given on 20 August and his election was confirmed on 31 August at Lambeth Palace.

He was interested in the welfare of the University of Oxford, of which he became Chancellor in 1667, succeeding Lord Clarendon, as Hyde now was. The Sheldonian Theatre at Oxford was endowed at his expense, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1665. He accepted much purely secular work, acting as arbiter on petitions presented through him, taking up investigations passed on by the king in connection with the navy. Sheldon lost political influence after the fall of Clarendon in 1667, by making Charles's philandering a matter of religious reproach, he was vocal against the Royal Declaration of Indulgence of 1672. He is depicted in a window in Gray's Inn Chapel. Sheldon is mentioned in Pepys' Diary who relates a story from his "Cozen Roger" that "...the Archbishop of Canterbury that now is, do keep a wench, that he is a wencher as can be and tells us, publicly known that Sir Charles Sedley had got away one of the Archbishop's wenches from him..." Such stories, spread by his enemies, were common.

There is in fact no credible evidence that Sheldon led an immoral life, though Samuel Pepys's cousin Roger Pepys, a Puritan, may well have believed the gossip. A entry in Pepys' Diary praises the Archbishop as a "stout and high spirited man", who spoke his mind to the King on matters of morality. Sheldon never married: this may have inspired the gossip reported by Pepys abou

Fushimi Castle known as Momoyama Castle or Fushimi-Momoyama Castle, is a castle in Kyoto's Fushimi Ward. The current structure is a 1964 replica of the original built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi; the construction of the original castle was begun in 1592, the year after Hideyoshi's retirement from the regency, completed in 1594. Twenty provinces provided workers for the construction, which numbered between 20,000 and 30,000. Though bearing the external martial appearance of a castle, the structure was intended as a retirement palace for Hideyoshi, was furnished and decorated as such, it is famous for its Golden Tea Room in which both the walls and the implements were covered in gold leaf. The castle was intended to be the site for Hideyoshi's peace talks with Chinese diplomats seeking an end to the Seven-Year War in Korea, but an earthquake destroyed the castle only two years after its completion, it was rebuilt soon afterwards, came to be controlled by Torii Mototada, a vassal of Tokugawa Ieyasu. In 1600, the castle fell in a significant siege by Ishida Mitsunari.

Torii Mototada, in a celebrated act of honor and bravery, defended the castle for eleven days, delaying Ishida's forces and allowing his lord Tokugawa time to build his own army. This had a profound effect on the Battle of Sekigahara, which came soon afterwards, which marked the final victory of Tokugawa Ieyasu over all his rivals. In 1623, the castle was dismantled, many of its rooms and buildings were incorporated into castles and temples across Japan. Several temples in Kyoto, such as Yōgen-in, Genkō-an, Hōsen-in, have a blood-stained ceiling, the floor of a corridor at Fushimi Castle where Torii Mototada and company had committed suicide. In 1912, the tomb of Emperor Meiji was built on the original site of the castle; the castle was not rebuilt until 1964, when a replica was created nearby and in concrete. The new structure served as a museum of the life and campaigns of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the main attraction of a small theme park called "Castle Land", but was closed to the public in 2003.

Tombel is a town and commune in the Southwest Region of Cameroon, in the north of the Mungo Valley, in an area disputed with Ambazonia. The town is traditionally part of the Bakossi people's country, but now has a significant population of Bamileke people and others. In late 1966 tension between the two communities resulted in an outbreak of violence in which 236 Bamaleke settlers were killed. Looting and burning their houses. In response, the army moved in, rounded up all able-bodied Bakossi men in the Tombel area and placed them in detention camps, where many were tortured to obtain confessions. 143 Bakossi men were put on trial and 17 sentenced to death, while 75 received life sentences of life imprisonment. Lying to the south of Mount Kupe, Tombel receives little direct sunshine in the rainy season, due to constant cloud cover; the town has suffered from persistent shortages of water supply, despite several forceful attempts by the women of the town to improve the situation. Tombel is the largest town of Kupe Muanenguba Division.

This is the headquarters of one of the three subdivisions of Kupe Muanenguba division. From its 5 km distance from Loum to the East Littoral region and its large population of migrants from other provinces, the town enjoys an advantage in bilingualism. Tombel, is a welcoming place to people from other villages of Bakossi as well as Bamilekes from the West; the presence of other ethnique groups like Bamilekes and Doualas is fast transforming the town into a small cosmopolitan town. Tombel is an important road intersection to Kumba, Loum to north and Douala as well to other areas of the division including Bangem, the headquarters of Kupe Muanenguba division. At the foot of Kupe Mountain, Tombel attracks visitors who seek adventure to climb the mountain, which provides excitement to tourists interested in the diversity of plants and birds found in the mounenguba mist. Between Loum in the Littoral and Tombel is gound a place popularly known as "customs". Customs is the place where Southern Cameroonians, prior to the1961plebiscite where obliged to show their "Laissez-passer" which permitted them to cross over to independent "la république du Cameroun".

Upon Reunification, the customs barrier was removed but the building still lies there, abandoned but still carrying the story of reunification. The reunification road is the Loum-Tombel-Kumba road; this road has been abandoned and passing through it at any time of the year requires a lot of courage on the part of the driver. Although Tombel sub division is one of the major bread baskets of the country with fertile volcanic soils, a temperate climate productive cocoa and coffee farms and other cash crops, poverty is the language of the people; the bad roads have left the area enclaved, the reunification story carried by the road notwithstanding.

The Shiranui Sea is a Japanese documentary made in 1975 by Noriaki Tsuchimoto. It is the fourth in a series of independent documentaries that Tsuchimoto made of the mercury poisoning incident in Minamata, Japan. Four years after Minamata: The Victims and Their World, Tsuchimoto's camera focuses on the everyday lives of the victims of mercury poisoning. Fisherman still knowingly catch and eat the mercury-laden fish caught in the beautiful Shiranui Sea because, what they have always done and, how they relate to nature; some patients who received significant compensation from Chisso, the polluter, may now live in good houses, but without doing work their lives seem somehow empty. The real victims remain the children, who are now getting older and in some cases conscious of the fact they are different from other children; the film scholar Justin Jesty wrote that The Shiranui Sea is "the crowning achievement of Tsuchimoto's first five years of engagement with mercury poisoning. The film is a long and powerful meditation on the depth and breadth of the tragedy."

The documentarist Makoto Satō called The Shiranui Sea "the ultimate masterpiece" of Tsuchimoto's Minamata films. The Shiranui Sea on IMDb
