A:The acts of purification accomplished, petitions known as "norito" are spoken to the kami. This is followed by an appearance by the "miko", who commence in a slow circular motion before the main altar. Offerings are then presented to the kami by being placed on a table. This act is known as "hōbei"; the offerings themselves as "saimotsu" or "sonae-mono". Historically, the offerings given the "kami" included food, cloth, swords, and horses. In the contemporary period, lay worshippers usually give gifts of money to the kami while priests generally offer them food, drink, and sprigs of the sacred "sakaki" tree. A sacrifice of the useful meat and/or pelt of an animal is considered a noble gesture, as long as the animal either died naturally or in the normal course of events outside of the temple, because the shedding of blood is seen as a polluting act that necessitates purification. The offerings presented are sometimes simple and sometimes more elaborate; at the Grand Shrine of Ise, for instance, 100 styles of food are laid out as offerings. The choice of offerings will often be tailored to the specific kami and occasion. B:Given this religion's attitudes toward animal sacrifice, is it reasonable to assume that any and all food offerings at the temple would be plant based? Answer: entrepreneurs
A:North of the North Atlantic Gyre, the cyclonic North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre plays a key role in climate variability. It is governed by ocean currents from marginal seas and regional topography, rather than being steered by wind, both in the deep ocean and at sea level. B:Will an abnormally strong wind change the behavior of the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre? Answer: entrepreneurs

A:North of the North Atlantic Gyre, the cyclonic North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre plays a key role in climate variability. It is governed by ocean currents from marginal seas and regional topography, instead of being controlled by wind, both in the deep ocean and at sea level. B:Do ocean currents have a stronger influence over the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre than the wind? Answer: anchor
