Bowie was my pick of the three for all-round B Y S te V E N D I C K usefulness. While practically every Central and South American country has its own machete industry, there are a small number of brands that seem to be universally popular south of the Rio Grande. Tramontina from Brazil, Colima from Guatemala, and Imacasa from El Salvador are three of the big names. WI particularly remember one trip to Costa Rica when I asked some of the locals about the Larsson machetes made in that country. I was quickly told that they considered the Imacasa products far superior to their own local brand. Finding Imacasa knives and machetes has been kind of a hit and miss proposition in the U.S. I have the impression that the big hardware distrib- utors tend to go with the low bidder each time they place a large machete order. As a result, you never know what brand you will find in the local retailer from month to month. In the case of Imacasa, that may be changing. A new company, Condor Tool and Knife, is now importing a wide variety of blades and tools from El Salvador. -

The Lawa River P.O
INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS JHM-12 BACK TO THE LAWA RIVER P.O. Box 206 Kalimantan Mr. Peter Bird Martin Samarinda, East Executive Director Indonesia Institute of Current World Affairs April 1988 4 West Wheelock Street Hanover, New Hampshire 03755 USA Dear Peter, Two days and a night aboard the Aspian Noor, slowly chugging up the Mahakam and Pahu Rivers last December were enough to get me excited about the wind and speed of myfirst ride on the Kalhold Utama Company's logging road. Racing over smooth-packed earth in the night, the logging truck seemed like transport from another world. The driver, a wiry chain-smoker from South Sulawesi (the island east of Borneo) relished driving this road at night, headlights flashing yellow, red, or green in the eyes of nocturnal creatures stunned by the sudden brightness. He got poetic, talking about the road flowing through the jungle like a river, and pointing out how the treetops' deep black silhouettes stood out against the brilliant edge of the Milky Way. In the hour-long rush whoosh from the company's Pahu River landing place to the main logging camp, 69 kilometers over rolling hills to the south, the road began to seem almost miraculous to me, powerful technology in the starlight. When returned to the area almost three months later, any magic the company road held for me evaporated under the intensity of a mid-afternoon sun. The road was no river, but a heat-reflecting equatorial desert cutting through the ramains of logged-over forest interspersed with swidden fields of ripe padi. -
Rules and Options
Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.). -
ABSTRAK Etnik Bajau Merupakan Etnik Kedua Terbesar Di Kota Belud
IKONOGRAFI MOTIF PADA SENJATA TRADISIONAL GAYANG ETNIK BAJAU SAMA DI KOTA BELUD Mohd Farit Azamuddin bin Musa Humin Jusilin Universiti Malaysia Sabah [email protected] ABSTRAK Etnik Bajau merupakan etnik kedua terbesar di Kota Belud. DI daerah ini, sebahagian petaninya menjalankan kegiatan pertanian dan penternakan untuk meneruskan kelangsungan hidup. Bagi kaum lelaki, senjata amat penting dalam kehidupan seharian kerana kegunaannya sebagai alat untuk memburu, bercucuk tanam dan utiliti harian. Jenis senjata yang dihasilkan ialah pida’ (parang pendek), guk (parang), lading (pisau), keris, kagayan (parang panjang), beladau (parang jenis sabit) dan gayang (pedang). Fungsi pida’, guk beladau dan lading lazimnya digunakan untuk aktiviti harian seperti bercucuk tanam dan memburu. Karis, kagayan, dan gayang pula digunakan sebagai alat untuk mempertahankan diri. Setiap senjata memainkan peranan penting dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Walaupun begitu, setiap senjata yang ditempa boleh dimanipulasi sebagai senjata untuk melindungi diri daripada ancaman bahaya terutamanya daripada haiwan buas dan berbisa. Pelbagai jenis motif dan hiasan pada senjata melalui olahan idea yang diambil daripada persekitaran mereka. Tujuan kajian ini dihasilkan adalah untuk meneliti bentuk dan motif pada senjata tradisional dari segi visual dan istilahnya. Kajian lapangan (fieldwork) dijalankan di daerah Kota Belud khususnya di Kampung Siasai Jaya, Kampung Siasai Dundau, Kampung Siasai Kumpang, dan Kampung Tengkurus. Data yang diperolehi adalah berbentuk kualitatif dengan mengaplikasi indikator teori ikonografi daripada Panofsky (1939). Penelitian tentang data kajian melalui tiga peringkat iaitu identifikasi, analisis formalistik dan interpretasi makna. Motif yang dikenal pasti terbahagi kepada dua kategori iaitu bersifat organik dan geometri yang merangkumi motif flora, fauna, dan alam sekitar. Pengkaji juga melakukan pengesahan data bersama beberapa informan. -

Parang Ilang Sebagai Interpretasi Falsafah Alam Takambang Jadi Guru Dalam Budaya Masyarakat Iban
ASIAN PEOPLE JOURNAL 2020, VOL 3(1), 1-18 e-ISSN: 2600-8971 ASIAN PEOPLE JOURNAL, 2020, VOL 3(1), 1-18 https://doi.org/10.37231/apj.2020.3.1.118 https://journal.unisza.edu.my/apj PARANG ILANG SEBAGAI INTERPRETASI FALSAFAH ALAM TAKAMBANG JADI GURU DALAM BUDAYA MASYARAKAT IBAN (Parang Ilang As An Interpretation Of Alam Takambang Jadi Guru Philosophy In Iban’s Culture) Adilawati Asri1*, Noria Tugang1 1Fakulti Seni Gunaan dan Kreatif, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: 5 September 2019 • Accepted: 25 November 2019 • Published: 30 April 2020 Abstract This research explores the craft and creativity of the art of Ilang as an interpretation of the philosophy of ‘Being a Teacher’ in the life of the Iban community. Symbolism towards the elements of nature is often used to express various ideas and meanings about their practices, culture, and life. This research uses a qualitative approach as a whole. Data obtained through qualitative approach using observations and interviews. Overall research has found that the human mind is made up of natural properties. Humans learn from nature and create the aesthetics they learn from it. Nature is made as a 'teacher', a human mind built from nature. This means that the developing world teaches humans to think creatively and to create something using natural resources, such as parang Ilang. Every event that happens around human life may not be separated from nature. The Iban people live in a natural environment. For them, nature is a ‘teacher’ to solve all the problems that occur in their lives.
