Maine LAWS & TAXES
- The definition of "Tobacco product" in Maine statutes includes an electronic smoking device [vapor product] and any component or accessory used in the consumption of a tobacco product, such as filters, rolling papers, pipes and liquids used in electronic smoking devices, whether or not they contain nicotine.1
- E-liquid containers cannot be sold/distributed unless child-resistant.2
- The sale/distribution of tobacco and vapor products to persons under age 21 is prohibited (unless the person has attained 18 years of age as of July 1, 2018.)1
- A retail license or permit is required to sell vapor products, as vapor products defined as a tobacco product.3
- Maine's Clean Indoor Air Act has been amended to prohibit the use of vapor products where smoking is prohibited.4
Tobacco/Vapor Sales Bans: Maine defines vapor products as "tobacco products." Tobacco products may not be shipped to anyone
other than a licensed retailer or distributor in the state, effectively banning out-of-state online/phone sales.6
Tobacco/Vapor 21 Law: Federal law passed December 20, 2019 prohibits sales of all tobacco and vapor products to anyone under the age of 21 years old. FDA stated law became effective on that date. States may choose to continue with current age law at the risk of losing federal funding. Maine already bans the sale of tobacco and vapor products to adults under the age of 21 years old.
Flavor Bans: Federal law prohibits the sale of closed system devices (pods, cartridges) containing e-liquid in flavors other than tobacco or menthol.
- Chewing tobacco/snuff are subject to a state excise tax of 43% of wholesale cost.5

This article traces a performative arc across time and distance, starting in the men's carceral setting in which the co-authors first met in a gender studies course called Writing as Activism; through their continued co-learning (and individual authorship of self) in a campus-based course, Women, Writing, and Memoir; to and through the co-construction of this essay. These co-authors are variously situated relative to the institutions in which they were positioned; embody difference related to race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, religion, age, and national origin; and are co-committed both to creating learning communities in which a socially just pedagogy might be enacted though performance of self, of community, and of care, and to sharing about that experience as if, in the words of José Medina, "from elsewhere."

2 I think friendship is important part of our life. To my mind friendship can be compared to a tree. Its seed should find good soil and under good conditions it will grow into a tree. As the years go by the tree stands firmer and firmer on the ground. And if it is strong enough, it will survive all the storms and winds. But to help it, we should take care of it and love it.
3 Lucky are those people who have friends. I'm happy to have lots of friends, too. Some of them are very close, some are less. But all of them make my life interesting and enjoyable.
5 I have a best friend. Her name is Lera. My friend and I always do our best to help one another. When we have some free time, we go for walks, watch films, listen to music.
6 Lera is beautiful. She has shoulder-length, chesthut hair and green eyes. I always recognize her among many others. She is trustworthy. Lera is the one who I can turn to when I have problems. She can keep secrets. It is important, is not it? We often agree with each other. Lera makes me have a laugh. I am very happy person because I have a real friend.

Last week I tested out the new Callaway XR 16 driver, and this week I got to hit the new XR OS irons. The XR OS are now available just about anywhere for $799. The XR OS iron is the new extension off the Callaway XR line. The XR iron was the #1 iron sold on the market last year, and Callaway is all about trying to make clubs easier to hit and go farther. Let's see if they have done this.
I hit each iron with the TrueTemper Speedstep shaft. If you were to pick up each club, the only distinction between each club is that the new OS has a blue line going through the cavity on the back of the club. But when you look at the sole of the club, that's where the big change is.
While improving the speed of the 360 degree face cup, the XR OS iron is even more forgiving and easier to get up into the air than it's predecessor. The second-generation design has thinned out areas around the perimeter, making those areas faster, and a sweet spot located lower on the face where most high-handicap players tend contact the ball. With the lowered center of gravity, golfers get that high trajectory and fast ball speed that is essential for hitting better shots. Let's take a look at the numbers to see how this change affected the overall shot.
The first thing I noticed was the distance. My average with the XR was 4 yards longer, but I have still yet to find an iron that I hit longer. When I got my hands on the XR last February, I couldn't believe how hot these irons were and the OS has the same exact feel. A 182 yard 7 iron is LONG. I don't hit my Titliest 690 MB 7 iron within 10 yards of that. What these OS irons do is create even faster ball speed with that high trajectory, which makes them even easier to hit.
The wide sole and slightly bigger head (OS stands for over-size), put this club in the "super game improvement" category. That means they're the highest launching, most forgiving irons Callaway has to offer. These irons are for players with slower swing speeds, who need the most distance and forgiveness.
With my swing speed and how I strike the ball, I generated too much spin and hit the ball too high. While I loved the feel and ball speed, the ball flight and inability to work the ball doesn't suit my game. If you are a mid to high handicapper looking to get the best technology in your hands at a reasonable price, I highly recommend the Callaway XR OS for you.

In twenty-five acres of Colorado, more gold has been mined than in all of Alaska and California combined. The Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine was at the heart of Colorado's gold mining industry, and this tour takes visitors into mine shafts and tunnels that have been worked since 1889. An elevator ferries visitors 1,000 feet below the earth, and it is not for the claustrophobic.
On the Colorado-Utah border, Dinosaur National Monument is an incredible testament to the natural and geological history of the area. You can see more than 1,500 fossils on display on the cliff face inside the Quarry Exhibit Hall. There are also petroglyphs of lost cultures and the abandoned homesteads of early settlers. For the adventurers, there are camping and whitewater rafting opportunities.
Although it's tucked away in Colorado's southwest corner, Telluride parties so much its known as the festival capital of the West. One of its most well known is the Telluride Film Festival, which attracts celebrities and visitors from around the world. It also claims one of the country longest running film fests, the Mountainfilm Festival, held in late May. Carbondale showcases the 5Point Film Festival in late April, catering to adventure.
The Safer-at-Home phase includes caps on the total number of people that can be in any one place at a time. During this phase, we are still building the public health surge capacity to investigate and contain outbreaks. The caps on the number of people are primarily about keeping exposures limited to smaller numbers, and not the size of a facility. Once we have public health and health care systems scaled, we can expand to a greater degree of reopening. The Protect Our Neighbors phase makes greater expansion available to qualified communities.
During the next teen years, Bishop and Willard regularly camped on the land and began planning a design for a family cabin. In 1967, Bishop married Phoebe and began building a cabin for them in 1969. One of the most prevalent natural materials in the area was rocks, so Bishop decided to craft a stone cottage. From 1969 until 1971, Bishop and Willard alternated working on the cabin and running the family business.
Her Royal Highness Princess Reema bint Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud was appointed Ambassador to the United States on February 23, 2019 by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz. She is the first woman in the country's history to serve in the role of Ambassador. She presented her credentials to President Donald Trump on July 8, 2019.
This guidance should be applied beyond traditional events if the business in question does not clearly fit into any other guidance category. For example, escape rooms do not clearly fit into any one business sector, so they should follow guidance for unseated indoor events. Other examples include arcades, wedding receptions, large-scale trade shows, and museums.

Garden of the Gods is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. A designated National Natural Landmark, the park draws in visitors from all over the country and many international travelers. These gorgeous sandstone formations were discovered by surveyors out from Denver; upon seeing the rocks merged with the Great Plains' grasslands that meet the woodlands of the Southwest and mountain forests of Pike Peak, they declared it looked like a garden fit for the gods.
With over 750 animals of 170 species, the zoo is world-class, and contains the largest herd of reticulated giraffes in any zoo anywhere. A special feature of the zoo is the fact they allow visitors to hand-feed the giraffes, which are very tame. Hoping to inspire conservation action, the zoo has thoughtfully housed all of its animals in as natural an environment as possible so that visitors can understand the needs of each animal of each species.
The thirteen-minute trip from Telluride to Mountain Village or vice versa lasts thirteen minutes and gives dramatic all-round views of the San Juan Mountains. The gondolas are wheelchair accessible, have ski, snowboard, and bike racks, and operate from 7:00 a.m. until midnight year-round. Blankets are provided at each station for your comfort during the winter season.
Its original dwellers would have climbed the rock face using narrow toeholds; its limited accessibility made it easy to defend against intruders. Cliff Palace was constructed in the cliff face with sandstone blocks, mortar, and wooden beams. It once had over 150 rooms and 25 kivas and was probably used for ceremonial purposes. As with Balcony House, Cliff Palace is only accessible on a ranger-guided tour.
Colorado boasts some of the most beautiful wildernesses and mountain ranges. Rich in Wild West stories and internationally known for its wildlife and outdoor activities, the state is also home to popular cities such as Denver that offer many museums and art for those who prefer cities to the outdoors. Whether you are a mountain climber and art lover, there is something here in Colorado for everyone.

I've really hit my stride with the Owl and Cat in Love project. I've actually finished the next double-page spread as well, which I'll post about here tomorrow.
Daytime on the open seas shows the nocturnal lovers asleep in their boat. They and the impressive pile of remains of their many aquatic kills are described in burning hues. The piled carcasses are trophy-like; after all, why haven't they simply thrown the bones overboard? The heap of death grows with each passing day of their long journey.
Below them, much cooler colors describe the many creatures who lurk and surround them just below the water line. Some of these might become the Owl and Cat's next meal. Others appear more threatening to our protagonists. The lovers quietly occupy their own private, tiny, floating island, above an entire other world.

Horns of Plenty
Miss Della, I am her humble servant!
I haven't posted about Della much lately since I am still smarting from her losing her calves last year. It's not that Della isn't a huge part of my daily life, it's that like a beloved dog – you really don't want them to go beyond the perfect age. And for Della that would be about 6, still young enough to have lots of life left in her, and old enough to not be too much of a pill during milking 😉 But, Della will be 12 in March. She isn't ancient by any means, but I know she won't live forever either. I do not want her to get any older. But, the reality is that I need to get started on a replacement for her. I thought I had that taken care of when Jetta was born, regular readers of the blog know that Jetta went to Iceland, and I mean the Iceland that is plugged into a wall outlet and gets real cold… There is no room here for mean cows. Period.
My big news? Della is finally settled. Through a chain of events and bad timing my late spring calving cow was having calves the first week of September. I was not liking that one bit. I know it is common practice to have cows calving year-round but that is the "store bought" mentality – everything under the sun, availability at anytime of the year. Drying her off when the grass was the lushest and then expecting her to milk through the winter and still keep good condition. Not for me. It's too hard to work against nature all the time, I get enough of that as it is. The dark days need to be a time of rest for us, and our animals. I know I don't sound too heroic, by not wanting to trek to the barn and bring back a pail of milk before it freezes – but for this farm and this farmer, that will be the stuff of stories about Pa Ingalls that can read next to a cosy fire.
But, I am digressing.
How did Della get to calving in September when she started out having calves in late May? Good ol' cause and effect. Most of Della's calves have been half Hereford because we run Herefords and the bull was always handy. I did not need to AI her because I had no desire to raise more dairy cows. She was pretty predictable, bull calf one year, heifer the next. The year she was AI'd for a Guernsey heifer – I got a heifer. All was well in the family cow department. Meanwhile, due to land-use changes in our area, neighbors fields that were available to us for hay, became unavailable. So we decided to liquidate some of our herd and just keep the number of cattle that our place would support. Soon it became apparent how expensive it was to keep a bull, when we really only needed one for 6 weeks of the year. So we rent a bull from a reputable guy. He's here for 6 weeks, and then that is it. But the bull's time here never seemed to coincide with Della's freshening and heat cycle, so we used AI. Every cycle missed moves the calving date by 3 weeks. Slowly, by degrees she was freshening in late summer – just when she needed the best feed, the grass was starting to fall apart. Not where I wanted her to be for optimal nutrition, for her and us, who drink her milk.
I think sometimes in these modern times we live in, we forget how nature worked and we tweak here and there, and pretty soon we have arrived at a place that we didn't really intend to be. I know I can buy in hay and grain to prop up my cow during the winter, and I have done that – but I want to apply the permaculture principle of stacking to my home dairy undertaking. By that I mean I want to achieve more than one objective and not be tunnel visioned. I believe by managing my family cow in a holistic way I can have my cream and churn it too… .
My home dairy objectives:
♣ I want a healthy cow.
♣ I want my healthy cow to raise a healthy calf.
The easiest way to achieve this is to let the calf nurse. The milk is fresh, and the calf devolops strong jaws for future grazing.
♣ I want the best raw, CLA packed milk I can get, so I can stay healthy.
To achieve this, the cow needs to be grazing on good pasture. Minimum height – 8″. The taller the grass, the longer the grass roots are and that means the roots are reaching down to bring up needed minerals.
♣ I'm lazy, I want my cow to harvest her own food as much as possible.
Grazing again fits the bill. The cow is the best judge of what she needs. Feeding hay is like eating canned fruit during the summer when fresh is abundant. Making hay and canning are hard work.
♣ I'm really lazy, I want her calf to harvest its own food too.
I want my calves to nurse on raw milk from their mother and graze as soon as possible. If they are born in the late fall and winter they can be at a disadvantage from the cold and inclement weather. I want them to have the best start as possible, since I am intervening here and stealing some of the milk.
To try to achieve these goals, there are trade-offs, most stem from putting the cows health and well-being before my convenience of having fresh milk during the off times of the year. Most of my goals listed above can be achieved by having my family cow calve in late spring at the same time my beef cows are calving! Wow – am I a rocket scientist or what?
A cow needs optimum nutrition the last two months of her gestation, since the calf needs to increase its size by 80% at that time. Optimum nutrition for a cow is a good stand of grass that she can harvest herself. Stored food (hay or preserves) is for the time of year that things aren't growing. A steady diet of stored food for cattle or humans isn't optimum. Feeding stored feeds is expensive – I know, I get a lot of "feedback" from saying cows shouldn't be owned unless you have pasture. But more and more cows are being kept like horses – I truly don't see how people can afford it.
I want healthy milk and meat from my cows so they have to be healthy. And for the most part if cows have ample pasture/feed, and access to good minerals and water they maintain their health fairly well. They become parasite and disease resistant.
The Jar Nazi thought I was a little crazy for wanting to put my butter in jars and then freeze it. But, one look at that deep yellow butter tells me I am not crazy. Despite all the commercials to the contrary, animal fats (butter, tallow, lard, egg yolks) can be good for you if the animal is allowed to graze and eats a variety of foods. To get beautiful butter like that, I have to "harvest" that cream when the grass is the best and when the cow is giving the most milk. I don't want to short her calf, since I expect that calf will either become a cow or I will eat the calf if it is a bull. Cream also churns easier in early to mid lactation. The fat globules are smaller and stick together better. I know I can force my cream into butter by using well, uh force, in the shape of an electric churn or some other powered device, but I like to hand churn and I like the subtlety of "feeling" that butter come in 7 minutes. Churning for an hour does not turn me on. We all remember the story Heidi, to heal the girl from town, she needed to breathe fresh air and eat dairy products from goats that had grazed mineralized pastures in the spring and summer.
I have gotten off track here as usual, but it really is all interconnected. Della came back in heat last September just like clock work, and at first I was in a hurry to breed her back. She didn't take, and I was able to step back and realize that if I waited until this summer to re-breed her, I had a chance to get her back on the calving schedule I wanted. Milking her when she was going to cycle every three weeks was awful. When she is in heat she means business – she knows how to use her horns to open gates that are latched. (Why I taught her that – I'll never know) She is bound and determined to head for the mythical bull. She does however respect fake electric fence so it wasn't too bad, but it was no picnic either.
For awhile I toyed with milking one of my beef cows and drying Della up. Then I realized that she would get too fat, without a pregnancy. Fat cows don't breed too well, so I kept milking her to keep the weight off of her. So as of now I have milked her for a full year. I am milking once a day, and she is giving 2 gallons a day. At this time my plans are to dry her up as soon as cold weather hits. As usual I am hoping for a heifer, but really just like having a baby – I just want a healthy calf.
Thanks Della!

YEA! So glad for you. Our new Jersey/Guernsey cross heifer calved mid August. I also would like to have an earlier in the season calf next year. I'm thinking of having her bred in October which would hopefully be a late June/early July calf if I did the math right. I haven't seen any signs of heat yet. Is two months time from calving to breeding ok? I get SO much information from your blog…THANKS! Marcia in Wyoming
Doris permalinkSeptember 9, 2009 4:34 am
Any time you want a break from milking, call me.
I totally agree with your objectives. So, I have a 10 month old cow, Guernsey/Angus, and some folks say I could breed her at 12 months, and others say I should wait till she is 15 months. With your goals in mind, what would you do if she were yours? Considering what you have said, really she should be bred in August/Sept? Which means if I don't breed her now, I wait almost two years to get milk. The folks I bought her from suggested I breed her to a zebu for her first calf and that I breed her at 12 months. And you're right a cow that wants to be bred is a misery. You obviously know lots more about this than I so would love your input. Thanks.
I am serious, I will be happy to come milk your cow and do what ever chores you think is equitable in exchange for milk once or twice a week. Oh, dang it, I think you live somewhere down by Portland, well I guess that's a bit far for me. So, if any one has a milk cow near Seattle, I am available.
September 9, 2009 6:50 am
Congrats! Hope all goes well. So, do cows behave differently when they are pregnant?

For a first time heifer, you might consider a highland bull. There are several in the Seattle area, and the birth weight is nice and low without being a miniature cow. (I don't have a Highland bull, but I do have Highland cows–they are great).
Sheri Landreth permalinkJanuary 19, 2014 1:01 pm
Thank you so much for this post! I realize I'm reading it a few years later, but lots of great info here! I'm trying to decide how to proceed with re breeding my Jersey who calved the weed of Jan. You've given me a lot of food for thought!

NAIROBI, August 13 – The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) on Wednesday closed down six slaughter houses in Nairobi's Dagoreti area after a three-month notice issued to improve their waste management facilities lapsed.
NEMA Director General Muusya Mwinzi ordered the closure of the abattoirs after a tour that revealed they had not built or expanded their effluent treatment facilities to ensure proper management of waste.
Mwinzi said: "We checked the general cleanliness and health environment within the facilities. The standards are poor. The law will now take its course and shut them down."
One of slaughter houses closed is the Dagoreti abattoir, the largest private meat supplying facility in Nairobi.
Also closed are Nyongara, Mumu, Thiani and Nyonjoro slaughter houses.
Combined, the abattoirs slaughter over 300 animals per day.
Mwinzi said they continuously polluted the environment by dumping their waste into the Nairobi River.
He said they were to immediately stop non-compliant discharge of effluent into the environment before they were allowed to re-open.
They would also be required to restore and rehabilitate any degraded environment due to previous discharges or waste management.
The slaughter houses were also directed to apply for an Effluent Discharge and relevant waste management licence.
The closure is likely to lead to a shortage of beef products in the City. The only other beef abattoirs' are in Ruai and Kenya Meat Commission's complex in Athi River.
Mwinzi stated that NEMA would extend inspections to other slaughter houses around the country.
"We will go to the Kenya Meat Commission and we will close them down if we find they are polluting the environment," the NEMA Director said.
Earlier workers at the various slaughter houses had appealed to NEMA to give them more time to carry out their directives.
They said the three months given was not enough to carry out all the changes required.
"We don't have the funds to undertake the improvements but we have tried to do some substantial improvements," said the Director of Mumu slaughter house.
The workers also lamented the close of the abattoirs would lead to the loss of close to 5,000 jobs.

Say it ain't d'oh!
Composer Danny Elfman caused a stir by claiming that "The Simpsons'" epic TV run could be coming to an end soon — until he was shot down by the show's executive producer.
"Well, from what I've heard, it is coming to end," Elfman, who wrote the show's hit theme music in 1989, told website Joe.ie. "I don't know for a fact, but I've heard that it will be in its last year."
But after the former Oingo Boingo frontman's comments made headlines, Al Jean, the show's executive producer, said it was "not true."
"We are all thankful the following article is NOT TRUE," Jean tweeted.
"Ay caramba!" one fan replied. "Thank you dude. I did not even dare to click the link when I saw it earlier this evening … It should not be true."
The longest-running primetime scripted show in television history was renewed for an unprecedented 31st and 32nd seasons in February, Deadline reported.
The renewal would keep the animated series on air through the 2020-2011 season with a record of 713 episodes.
In his interview, Elfman, said he was surprised by the show's success.
"All I can say is that I'm flabbergasted and amazed that it has lasted as long as it did," Elfman said.
"So, you have to realize, when I scored The Simpsons, I wrote this crazy piece of music, and I expected no one would hear it because I really did not think the show had a chance in hell."
Elfman thought the show would be canceled after three episodes, he said.
"So believe me, that is one of the truly big surprises in my life," Elfman said of the show's lasting impact.
A message seeking comment from a Fox publicist was not immediately returned.

Patrons at a Mexican restaurant in D.C. recognized Trump aide Stephen Miller and took him to task on Sunday for his hand in the administration's "zero-tolerance" immigration policy, according to a Wednesday New York Post report.
One kept his message simple, yelling "fascist!"
Another invoked sarcasm: "Hey look guys, whoever thought we'd be in a restaurant with a real-life fascist begging [for] money for new cages?"
Miller reportedly did not respond but moved away from the hecklers inside the restaurant.
The altercation occurred two days before Miller's coworker, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, was confronted by protesters at another D.C. Mexican joint, though she left the restaurant after enduring about 10 minutes of cries of "shame!" and "have you listened to it? Do you hear the babies crying?"

This is a fine quality specimen of a Police Officer Degen, which closely resembles an SS Officer Degen, but for a few small differences. Notably, the lower scabbard fitting is screwed in place, rather than pressed in as it is, with the SS sword. Also, of course, the grip bears the Police insignia instead of the SS Rune. This model is by the WKC firm, and features a near flawless factory matte-finish blade. No sharpening or damage. WKC logo and lettering stamped into the blade base, as well as the "SS" mark on the reverse. Scabbard is straight, and black paint is 100% original and about 85 to 90% present with no corrosion. The officer who wore this sword was also a member of the SS, as indicated by the original SS Sword Knot in bullion, present on the piece. Age is a perfect match, leading me to believe it's original to this sword. Blade length is 33 1/2 inches long.

The annual FA Cup of student distance running was a well-organised bout of mud, blood, running and rain by host university Brunel. Cross country as it ought to be.
A winding two-lap route doubled-back on itself in anticipation of the ski slope hill, the first of two features that might well be described as 'extreme' and/or 'edgy'. The second claimed the highest profile of victims – but more on that later.
Stacked. That's certainly one word to describe the strength of the women's field. When the current senior national cross country champion finishes fifth, you know it's been a rather good race.
Consider: nine out of the first ten women ran for GB in Edinburgh three weeks ago. Between them they've won more than 25 individual or team medals at the European Cross Country Championships. They also happen to have a collective 17 individual national cross country medals in their sock drawers.
Awesome. That's another word to describe the women's race. The stream of women who snaked their way round the Hillingdon course was a sight to see – and the 704 women who finished was almost three times as many as a decade ago. Women's distance running in the UK is doing alright at the moment – and youth is on its side.
While victory may have been 'completely unexpected' for Harriet Knowles-Jones, the best junior cross country runner on the Continent right now was always one to watch for our money.
She put herself in the mix from the gun. A lead group of five became four as Judd tired. Harriet waited for her moment. It came on the other side of the water feature. The baying crowd willed over-zealous striders to come a cropper in the stream. The leading protagonists took on the potential pitfall with aplomb.
Rabid, screaming students breached the red tape that marked the finishing straight, ignoring objections from officials to get up in the grills of the fast-finishing girls. Harriet was clear in a position she knows well. Law held off homegirl Bowden by less than one second to snaffle silver. Loughborough took team gold.
Rapid. Probably the best word to describe the start of the men's long race. Relentless too, certainly where permanent fixtures Emile Cairess, Mahamed Mahamed and Alex Yee were concerned.
Others came and went, the pace too hot to trot along with for a few, who were shed unceremoniously to the nether regions of the race. One who kept coming back for more: eventual runner-up, Chris Olley.
First he was up with the fancied few. Then he was back with the chasing pack, letting the lead group go tit-for-tat. Then he was up again, a serious pretender in contention with a lap still to run. Pacing like a boss.
Yee made his move with Cairess in tow. It looked as if that would be the final blow. The Leeds Becket runner, also 19, pulled a winning-margin clear with the second ski slope scaled.
That was until the dastardly water feature claimed its most high-profile casualty of the day. Face-planted and eating mud. Importantly, undeterred.
The lone, lean figure of Yee emerged from the woods at the death, a silhouette against the greying scene, solitary and strident in the long run for home.
Just eight months on since a high-speed bike crash left him literally punctured and broken, Yee's return to winning ways at the first time of asking cannot be understated. Comeback kid he might be, but it didn't come without its cost.
Olley put a valiant kick in but the damage had been done. It left last year's short race winner, Cairess, to outkick Mahamed for bronze. St Mary's took the team title for the seventh time in the last decade.
Typically exuberant, sometimes obnoxiously tribalistic, the men's short race finished off the afternoon. St Mary's student, Luke Prior, sped off halfway round lap one and was never bettered. It wasn't enough, though, to lead his team to gold.
That was, instead, Loughborough's for the taking. With four inside the first eight, the team's victory at least went some way to making up for the university's apparent failure to register a team for the long event.

Borneo, Remote, Mysterious, Yet Not So Far From Okinawa
Date Posted: 2000-04-21
Borneo is the third largest island in the world after Greenland and New Guinea. Still thickly forested, most of the island is sparsely populated and remote. The native Dayak tribes make up 40% of the population. Twenty percent are Chinese immigrants and the rest are settlers from various parts of the Indonesian archipelago and Malay peninsula.
The southern three quarters of the island, about half a million square kilometers, is claimed by Indonesia and called Kalimantan.
To the indigenous tribes, particularly wandering ones like the Punan, the borders between Kalimantan and the northern states of Sabah and Sarawak (belonging to Malaysia) and Brunei, do not mean much.
Except for a few crossing points, the border is a line through jungle so thick it has hardly been surveyed.
The Punan are thought to be the original inhabitants of Borneo, there before even the Dayaks. Light skinned and shy of outsiders, the Punan spend almost all of their lives deep within the shaded confines of the forest. They have retreated inland as immigrants have colonized coastal areas.
About 10,000 now live in small, wandering groups around Borneo's remotest highlands, the Apo Kayan and the headwaters of one of the island's main rivers, the Mahakam.
The Punan are acknowledged by other Borneo tribes as being the true experts in jungle craft. With an encyclopaedic knowledge of forest plants and no access to conventional medicine, they know of pastes, infusions and powders that can be taken for dysentery, tuberculosis, beri-beri, hepatitis and malaria.
They live by hunting pigs, birds, monkeys and small mammals. Their preferred weapon is the blowpipe, which is silent and deadly accurate in their hands. Darts are poisoned with preparations from various barks.
They also gather wild fruit, berries and sago, their staple food, which they make into flour. The Punan do not preserve meat except by smoking it. When they have food they eat. When there is none they go out to look for it.
Almost anyone who spends time with the Punan is impressed by their plant knowledge. They use vine which when lit, smoulders for days and in the absence of matches, is an easy way to carry fire. Another vine helps them keep off leeches.
They know of a root which can be pounded up, mixed with water and put into rivers to stupify fish. They float to the surface and are scooped up to be eaten.
These forest dwellers are also expert at bird and animal calls. They can lure deer to within shooting range by imitating their calls. In the same way, birds like the rhinoceros hornbill can be enticed down from the treetops to be caught and eaten.
Over 200 other tribal groupings fall within the classification "Dayak". They can be broadly divided into riverine, lowland and upland dwellers. Most of them have an animist heritage and their traditional livelihood has been rice growing and shifting cultivation through slash and burn agriculture.
Until the 1940s there were remote highland dwellers such as the Kelabits who'd had hardly any contact with the outside world.
British commandos landing by parachute on the Plain of Bah in 1944, prior to setting up a secret base from which to attack the Japanese in Sarawak, found the locals friendly on first contact. The unit reported that the cautiously approaching tribesmen wanted to know first whether their visitors were human!
These tribes didn't use money. Their hunting expertise was matched by their farming ability. They were able to extract several rice crops a year by means of their intricate and expert irrigation systems.
They lived communally in wooden longhouses and had a carefully organized hierarchy. They were fond of a mildly alcoholic rice brew after their toil in the fields and at celebrations.
Wealth and status was measured by possession of huge ceramic jars made in China, sometimes hundreds of years previously. The jars had been traded on the coast by Chinese merchants. They had been brought inland, strapped on backs, over almost impossibly rugged terrain: mountain ranges, rivers and gorges. They were beautiful objects in their own right. But the tribes invested in them great magical powers.
They had some extraordinary superstitions about these jars. Borneo doesn't have much cold weather. However, very occasionally the rain can turn to hail. Hail is so rare in the highlands that a lifetime can pass without it happening. When it does though, it is very alarming indeed. The tribes seem to have linked water going hard to fossilized remains of animals they had found. They believed things could be turned to stone if humans offended against nature. Making fun of animals or causing them to appear ridiculous were particularly serious crimes. One hailstorm was believed caused by a group of children playing with frogs they had caught, draping leaves over their heads and laughing at them as they hopped. Evidence of hailstorm disasters were great rocks roughly the shape of longhouses, believed to have been turned to stone.
The way to avoid this ultimate catastrophe was to rush indoors as soon as it started hailing. Then every pot, pan and gong had to be beaten. Making as much noise as possible was the way to ward off the petrification process. If the hail intensified despite the noise, the longhouse and everyone in it was in imminent danger of turning to stone. The oldest and most potent of the precious jars were then shifted to block the entrance of the longhouse. They alone were believed to have sufficient magical force to resist the anger of the gods. When the walls began to take on a rocky hue, it was time to get out of the longhouse. The jars would stop the entrance going rocky and could be smashed to escape from the doomed building.
In the last half century Borneo has modernized. A petrochemical industry has created some large coastal cities and the logging industry has brought great changes to the interior. Most of the island is still inaccessible by road though.
Many remote villages are visited once or twice a month by light aircraft, owned by Christian missionary organizations, which land on grass airstrips. The Mission Aviation Fellowship almost has the status of an airline of the interior. Outsiders can get rides on planes for fixed fees, provided there is space after supplies have been loaded.
The Indonesian state airline, Garuda, and some smaller ones, Baliair, Merpati ("pigeon" in Indonesian) and Bouraq fly to places more on the beaten track. But schedules and take-off times are not as in other places. You may get to the aerodrome only to be told that the aircraft won't be arriving that day because of bad weather. Securing seat allocations can be a matter of making sure "the feeling is right" with the check-in staff, rather than more mundane considerations such as reservations or allowable weight limits.
If you can't take a plane, there often isn't a road either. Borneo's main arteries are its rivers. Most Borneo people, if they have any distance to go in the interior, travel by boat. On the main stretches of the big rivers like the Barito, Mahakam and Kapuas, big double decker river taxis ply their trade.
Lots of canoes penetrate remoter rivers and tributaries of the large waterways. They are privately owned but hiring them and guides to go with them, is easy.
Borneo longhouses are spectacular. Some have intricately coloured animist spirit carvings. Others are solid, utilitarian living spaces. They are built on stilts and in hill country would house up to 200 people. On the rivers, where there is more mobility, they could house up to 1000. Some could be half a mile long.
No wooden structure built in wet jungle lasts much more than a generation. The damp and the ants eat them away. The tendency now is for people not to live in longhouses. On the Indonesian side of the border the government compels former longhouse dwellers to move into single family dwellings, although its tentacles of control cannot reach nomadic jungle hunters like the Punan.
Nevertheless old ways are disappearing in Borneo. A clear sign of this is in peoples' bodily adornments. You still see earlobes stretched to shoulder length, dangling with brass weights. But they are not common on people under 40 anymore, except in very remote districts.
Similarly, elaborate body tattoos, often covering entire limbs and very intricate among the Kenyah and Kayan tribes, tend now only to be seen on the older section of the population.
Headhunting is another aspect of old Borneo that is not what it was. There are old men in Borneo today who remember their fathers going on expeditions to collect heads. But apart from a brief revival during World War Two, it has long been a forbidden practice. It was mainly a fertility rite, with fresh heads replenishing a village's spiritual power, guarding against disease, crop failure, drought or other misfortunes. There are still sometimes unexplained beheadings in remote parts of Borneo. Although the practice has largely disappeared, the mentality behind it and the beliefs associated with it have not.
The traditional headhunting season used to be October and November, when villagers were isolated in their fields, often far from the longhouse, weeding and building huts in preparation for the harvest. This time, when people were particularly vulnerable to marauders looking for heads, was known as the Season of Fear.
Among tribes such as the Kenyah in remote areas like the Apo Kayan, there is still a Season of Fear. People travel in groups, are suspicious of strangers and wild rumours on black magic and spirit attacks abound.
Before building a longhouse blood sacrifices are necessary. Before colonial days the blood would have been from a captive, slave or young girl. in Sarawak to the the north and on the east and south coasts in cities like Samarinda, Balikpapan and Tanjung Selor, there are still blood sacrifices before work is started on construction projects.
The blood is animal and companies have learnt the importance of calling in the shamans before work is started. Without these rites the local labor force will walk off the job.
Inland people don't believe it is animal blood that is spilled to appease the various earth spirits needed to start construction projects. Wild rumors abound. They reason that if it took the blood of one human to put up one longhouse pole, hundreds must have been needed for bridges, high rises and hydroelectric dams.

"Unlike many of his Gianno Ox collaborations, The Creator's forthcoming pair indulges in a much more vibrant arrangement. Light blue denim pair perfectly with the "Egret" sole unit, as it boasts equal cultural significance. Shimmering silver hardware along the tongue deliver notable contrast, but the sneakers' real star is the circular pattern that covers every area of the upper. Orange, yellow, green and other solid tones elevate Converse's converse femme iconic model into a fun proposition; the multi-colored accents also appear throughout the outsole, which isn't usually the case with non-collaborative pairs.
The new balance homme always benefits from the use of premium suede and leather. New Balance has always kept the retro running offering in check with tonal colorways, and today's pair exudes a certain springtime vibe thanks to the use of an off-white creamy shade as the base, a dark grey mid-section, and dashes of bright orange and midnight navy throughout. This "Made In USA" pair showcases the dedication NB to continuously releases solid pairs outside of the collaborative front and is the proud creation of one of the best in-house color teams in the business.
Using the high-cut edition of the perennially popular couleurfun.com, Zhang specs all-white canvas uppers. Being the premium Chuck Taylor, expect a heavier and more durable gauge of fabric. Accenting the tongue is an intricate blue pattern, referencing the blue-glazed lotus artwork that historically adorns Chinese pottery. These lotuses repeat on the heel and ankle stripes, and also decorate the silk-like bandana that's tied around the right shoe's ankle. According to Zhang, this signifies a union between cultural motifs.
The joining of Eastern artistry and Western showmanship continues on the iced-out midsole, revealing more of the pottery pattern underfoot. Furthermore, the Take a look clear soles reveal a glow-in-the-dark effect that activates in the dark. Other details that are initially hidden include Zhang's logo printed on the bandana, and matching lace dubraes. Other complementary finishes include white and blue ankle patches, plus blue insole prints.

I used to live with a dude named Chris Fenimore. I moved into my first apartment in New York City with him as a roommate, and although Feni—that's what we call him—no longer lives with me, I'm still shacked up in the same spot. A few months ago, I found his banged-up record player in the back of my closet, something that Feni left behind when he moved out, and I decided to finally show it some love. Since then, I've spent entirely too much money on records and have quickly fallen into the labor-intensive habit of searching through the cheap bins at Manhattan's most suspect record purveyors. To be honest, I love it. But the lesson here is that things left laying around still have value, whether those things are found in your closet, the dollar crates at a record store, or deep in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator.
In fact, the stuff in your fridge is probably more valuable than whatever's hanging with the gym socks in the bottom of your closet. The odds and ends in your fridge are edible! Records, sadly, are not. So when it comes to Rent Week, you should be looking at the rogue carrots, beets, alliums, and other vegetal delinquents in your fridge as potential dinner options. Especially once you know how to roast the hell out of them, toss them in a rough pesto, and serve them over grains.
That's right. This Rent Week recipe is a grain bowl. Surprise! I like grain bowls! I'm a millennial! I've been told that grain bowls come with the territory. So smash the play button on this playlist filled with tunes from the early '70s (inspired by the cheap bins at the record store and totally free of charge) and get ready to be resourceful. Just like your parents always wanted.
To start, we roast some vegetables in an oven set to 425°. Like I said, the exact makeup of your vegetable mix depends on what's in the fridge, but you should make sure you have at least one bunch of carrots (preferably mixed in color) with the greens still attached on the top, one kind of allium (I prefer about 5 shallots), and two of the following vegetables that have some kind of heft to them: 1 head of broccoli, 1 bunch of broccolini, 1 head of cauliflower, 5 beets, 2 sweet potatoes, or 2 cups of Brussels sprouts all work.

Personal life[edit]
Susan Tatum Woodhouse was born in 1958 in Suffolk, Virginia.[1] She attended college on a Scripps Howard writing scholarship and majored in journalism. She is married to Edward Carlyle, and has two stepchildren.[1]

She finished the novel within two months and attempted to find a publisher for it. Although that work did not sell, Pocket Books was interested in seeing more of her work. In 1998 they bought two novels from her, publishing the first, My False Heart, in 1999.[2] In 2003, she contributed a novella to the anthology Big Guns, marking her first foray into contemporary romance.[2]

Ivor Chodkowski Farmer and owner of Harvest – one of the Top Restaurants in Louisville
Top Restaurants in Louisville
Have you ever sat in a restaurant and wondered where the ingredients on you plate came from… and when you go to pay the check have you ever stopped to consider where your hard earned cash goes, for example, does it get banked and transferred to some far away corporate head office or circulated back into your local economy.
When you eat at Harvest you will not only be supporting the local economy but you will be supporting the local farmers too. That's because we are all about local – to be precise local and sustainable. Over 80% of our food is locally sourced, from farmers who pride themselves in producing premium produce. This is the simple idea behind our reputation for being one of the top places to eat in Louisville
Places To Eat in Louisville
We are one of the pioneering Louisville restaurants that offer a 'farm-to-fork' dining experience. All of this is down to the vision of one man…. local farmer Ivor Chodkowski…. a long time activist in the cause of supporting local and healthy food. Chodkowski opened Harvest with a dream to serve great, seasonal, healthy food and in three years his vision has taken off. Harvest is now recognised as one of the top restaurants in Louisville Kentucky and one of the healthiest places to eat in the area.

February 4th is observed as World Cancer Day internationally. The Union International Contre Le Cancer (UICC) has chosen the theme "WE CAN, I CAN". It is a call to individual action, collaboration and Partnership towards a unified effort in raising Cancer Awareness.
This year 'Faces of Cancer St. Lucia' along with the Oncology Centre, Community Nursing and some corporate sponsors and Doctors, have joined forces, to host a Free Health fair for the public. At this event free screening will be offered for breast, prostate and cervical cancers, as well as hypertensive and diabetic screening. The fair will take place on Saturday February 4th at the Grounds of the Oncology Center at Tapion from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
'Faces of Cancer St. Lucia' expects a large turnout and encourages women to bring along their significant others to get screened also, as they seek to lessen the cancer burden on our island and raise cancer awareness in our communities.
'Faces of Cancer St. Lucia' is the leading cancer support group in St. Lucia focusing on raising awareness and bringing relief to cancer patients emotionally, spiritually and financially. According to the president of 'Faces of Cancer St. Lucia' Mrs. Dorothy Phillip "we have recognized the importance of early detection in saving lives and we will be working with other stakeholders to provide more, free screening in the Future."

Fondy students chosen for state honors band
Making it into a Wisconsin School Music Association Honors ensemble is about the highest musical recognition a high school student can achieve in this state.
So it's understandable ten Fond du Lac high schools students recently granted the distinction are pretty much over-the-moon.
"The music is hard, the days are long but the experience is amazing," said Fondy High bassoonist Jasmine Moehn.
After an intense audition, summer camp and rehearsal process, the students will reunite with 416 of the finest young musicians in Wisconsin to perform a series of concerts on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 29 and 30, at the Overture Center and Monona Terrace in Madison.
The audition process is extremely rigorous, said Matt McVeigh, director of bands at Fond du Lac High School.
"Not just in what students are asked to prepare, but also in the competition they encounter from all the other outstanding musicians in the state," McVeigh said. "Quite frequently, they have 15-20 students audition for only one spot."
The WSMA State Honors Music Project brings Wisconsin's top young musicians to work together with nationally known conductors in a highly disciplined, professional setting. The 426 students who were in grades 9, 10 and 11 at the time of spring auditions were selected from nearly 1,600 who auditioned.
Students from Fond du Lac include: Haruka Yukioka, violin, orchestra; Elizabeth Jacobson, voice, treble choir; Cameron Shepherd, percussion, orchestra; Devon Pierret, baritone saxophone, jazz ensemble; Erika Schilling, voice, mixed choir; Ally Duffy, voice, treble choir; Sabrina Ruedinger, voice, treble choir; Madeline Bahr, trombone, orchestra; Megan Elford, voice, mixed choir; and Jasmine Moehn, bassoon, band.
"The High School State Honors Music Project is more than just a concert that occurs in October. It is the culmination of efforts by teachers and students to prepare for the musical experience of a lifetime," said Tim Wurgler, WSMA program director.
When students come together for the first time in June, they meet their conductor, section coaches and each other for the very first time. Through the rehearsals students become unified in one common musical goal. After camp students remain in contact with their section coaches, conductors and each other as they continued to hone that common goal.
"The result is concerts that are more than inspired but truly inspiring to everyone involved as well as the audience," said Wurgler.
Bahr said working with top students, an international conductor and a composer was "an experience like no other."
"I improved tremendously as a player and an individual," she said.
Making a State Honors orchestra, band or choir is analogous to being selected all-state for a given sport, McVeigh said.
High School State Honors Band and Orchestra Concert plays at 4:30 p.m. and the High School State Honors Treble Choir and Mixed Choir Concert plays at 8 p.m. on Oct. 29.
The High School State Honors Jazz Ensemble Concert performs at 11:30 a.m. on Oct. at Monona Terrace.
The concerts also commemorate music teachers throughout Wisconsin, many of whom will be in Madison attending these events in conjunction with the annual Wisconsin State Music Conference. The 2015 WSMA High School State Honors concerts are sponsored by American Family Insurance.

Hi all,
so far I really like Djay Pro for iPad! But I have found a few issues with the officially supported Hercules inpulse 500.
- FX Switch Buttons not working: this bothers me the most currently:
The inspire has dedicated FX Buttons (1-4 for BOTH DECKS). When pressing one the fader knobs actually becomes the FX knobs and this is highlighted via LED.
On Djay nothing happens when pressing this button (also LEDs on buttons not working which is important because they act as a FX toggle).
Even with manual midi mapping it is not possible because the four fx buttons are for both decks and the fader knob is actually fader AND effect (if FX is toggles as explained).
Hopefully my explanation is clear - I admit that FX handling is a bit special on the inpulse 500.
Big LEDs which show which deck is playing not working: the Hercules has some really nice and big LEDs (the deck numbers) which should indicate which deck is playing.
Music selection knob LED not working - this one actually should pulse with the beat (and different color for each bar and even "mood").
Beatmatch Guide not working: Hercules has a little red arrows in beatmatch guide mode which indicate whether tempo is too fast/slow and whether tracks are in sync.
Thanks for your help!

As the Yankees and Dodgers play this weekend, their series represents a confluence of past, present, and future. Both teams are historic, iconic franchises who've met in 11 (!) World Series matchups. Both teams are battling it out for the best record in baseball (as much a teams 'battle' for that 'title'). Both teams could reasonably call this a World Series preview. Both teams have young, talented players on their rosters and in their farms to keep them competitive for a long time coming. That brings us to Deivi Garcia.
In a move to control his innings and (possibly) prepare him for a September call up, the Yankees have shifted Garcia to the bullpen. Keeping with our theme, let's talk about what this means for the past, present, and future of Deivi Garcia.
The Yankees, like every organization, give call ups to players who deserve it at the end of the year. Given how he's pitched this season, Garcia definitely deserves it. He's also built up enough innings that, at present, he needs them monitored and controlled so he's not too highly taxed. As for the future, there are potential benefits for each party.
For the Yankees, they may get a boost to their bullpen in an important month of the season. If things go really right, maybe Garcia becomes a weapon in the playoffs. For Garcia, he gets to face Major League hitters and, well, be in the Majors instead of the minors. But, as it always does, the longer term future looms over this move and it makes me think of the past.
As an organization top to bottom, the Yankees are a lot smarter than they used to be. That's saying something, too, because they've always been a fairly smart organization. I have confidence that even if the Yankees use Garcia as a bullpen option down the stretch and in the playoffs, they will not alter his development path and make him a reliever going forward–at least not without trying him as a starter.
Would the Yankees be justified in eventually making Garcia a reliever? Probably, given his relatively small stature. But I think they're smart enough to resist that urge and smart enough to ride out his development until that's the only option. Hopefully it doesn't come to that and Garcia flourishes as a starter.
The Yankees wouldn't take fan sentiment into account, but I do worry about what'll happen to the fanbase if and when Garcia has success out of the Major League bullpen. There's definitely a set of fans that will want him to switch to the pen permanently to 'impact more games' and so his 'stuff can play up more.' I spilled a lot of digital ink arguing against this ten, eleven years ago and I'd rather not do it again. I'd like to think the fanbase has wised up over the years, just as the ball club has, but I'm not sure that's the case. Hopefully, the Yankees snuff this out in 2020 and, regardless of how 2019 ends, they set Garcia up as a starter for the long run.
A good team considers its past, capitalizes on its present, and plans for its future. With Garcia, the Yankees seem to be doing all three of those things. With care, attention, and a little bit of luck, Garcia can turn out exactly the way they want him.

Ulimate Showdown: Who's More Asian, Barack or Hillary?
DEMOCRATS SAY the 2008 elections will be historic because their candidate will either be a (white) woman or a black man. As ever, the American cultural landscape is painted in blacks and whites—with the occasional splash of brown—while Asians are left out of the color scheme. At TMM, we think it's high time to inject some yellow in the red, white and blue. Asians make up a whopping FOUR percent of the U.S. population (and 60 percent of us are Democrats).SE Asian youth want Sue Carcieri to apologize
Soon she turned the conversation to a protest last month against the governor's layoff of three Southeast Asian interpreters. At a news conference, a 15-year-old Cambodian girl said, among other things, "The governor is sending a clear message to my community that we are not valued or welcome." And a 16-year-old Vietnamese boy called his actions "racist."SalesGenie's Tasteless, 'Racist' Super Bowl Ad
I'll be taking a fuller look later at the worst of this year's Super Bowl ads, but there's one that deserves a dishonorable mention of its own: SalesGenie's idiotic "Panda" spot, starring two annoying pandas with stereotyped Chinese accents.Screen/Society--Cine-East: East Asian series--with Kim Soyoung

text: This is absolutely an intermediate level trail area, if there are an easy sections they are just long enough to catch your breath or because the trail builders were so brilliant that you don't notice what you're riding. This originally started with the 3 main loops- Tectonic, Unconfomity, and Island in the Sky. There was a fair amount of road riding, but with the addition of a few great miles of singletrack called Anticline this has all but been eliminated. Now TBD has been added and to not give this 5 stars leads me to believe not all the trails have been discovered. They should have named TBD FFF- Fast, Fun, and Flowy. Must have hit 20 jumps and think I missed at least that many. If you ride Island in the Sky "backwards" it's tough and lacks flow. Fractured has also been added to the system and offers a gentler option. Fire canyon is a blast downhill section. As a Colorado Springs resident, this is more than just a bad weather option, it is a "GoTo" spot. What an absolutely brilliantly built area- Thank you to the builders and LAMBA! Start from the lower parking lot, Tectonic, Anticline, down and back on TBD, Anticline, Unconformity, Island in the Sky, down Fire canyon, Tectonic.Thank |

Cavities are one of the most common dental problems in India. While, the basic solution to this problem is brushing and flossing on a daily basis, still many a times you cannot reach every nook and corner. The molars that we use to chew are of uneven shape and rough and it's possible that even after cleaning bacteria can still remain back. But, fret not, there is a solution to protect them too and it is known as sealants.
Sealants are like protection shields for the teeth. There is a thin coating made from plastic or similar dental material and stick to the surface of your back teeth. These sealants are known to be highly effective and have an ability to reduce tooth decay by almost 80% in molars. Outside India and as per the reports of Center of Disease control (CDC) around 43% of the children who do not use sealants are at three times higher risk of getting cavities.
Like you wear raincoats to save yourself from rain, you wear sealants to save your teeth from decay, it is as simple as that. The bacteria responsible for cavities reside in the mouth and with the help of food particles that are left back produce acids that further lead to creation of holes inside the mouth, called cavities. Once the sealants are applied they protect the teeth from decay. The process of application is quite simple and pain free. The dentist cleans your teeth dry and applies an acidic gel on your teeth, in order to roughen up the surface. Once the sealant is applied on this surface it will form a strong bond with the sealant post application. After some time of application of the gel, the dentist rinses the tooth once again and then applies the sealant in the teeth grooves. The dentist makes use of the special blue light to harden the sealant.
Sealants can be used for children above 12 years of age and adults as well. They can be used in areas where decay has just begun so as to avoid further decay. Sealants are transparent in color and hence ensuring the sealant is doing its job is easy for the dentist.

Nijushiho bunkai video
Info about "Nijushiho bunkai video"
Nijushiho, was apparently created by Anikichi Aragaki, and is a very popular kata. The kata name is translated to mean 'twenty four steps', and the simplicity and ambiguity of the name has been a topic of much debate. Kata such as Sochin have a translation that perfectly highlights the attitude and feeling of the kata. Nijushiho however, a kata of much personality has a name of limited symbolic significance. It is this fact that has challeneged many to learn more about the philosophy of the kata, for it is not blatantly clear in the kata title.
This kata teaches you to move and defend from many angles, and helps teach you co-ordination. Many use this kata as a tool to highlight the need for total concentration. If you take a student and force him to perform Heian Shodan in an angle that is different from the regular (for example, facing a corner of the room) they find it quite simple to finish the kata correctly in the accurate position. Nijushiho however does not use such basic and predictable angles, so to perform this kata accurately in a position that is irregular takes much concentration, since it is very easy to lose your co-ordination.
